THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARCUS. JACKSON, GEORGIA
Resolution On
Retirement Of
Mayor Redman
RESOLUTION ON
RETIREMENT OF
W. M. REDMAN AS MAYOR
CITY OF JACKSON
Whereas, on December 31st,
1962, William Morris Redman
concluded his twenty-six years of
official duties as Mayor of City
of Jackson, thus choosing retire
ment from such official duties.
Whereas, Mr. Redman was elec
ted to the office of Mayor on
January 6th, 1937 and began his
official duties January 18th,
1937, serving continuously in this
capacity through 1962.
At the time he became Mayor
the term of office was one year
at a time, but in 1946 the term
of office for Mayor and council
men was extended to two years
by Act of the Georgia legislature.
Soon after Mr. Redman took
over the reins of the City govern
ment, he became acquainted with
the multiple needs of the City,
such as financing the City
schools, maintenance of Hawkes
Library, improvement of streets
and sidewalks, better sanitation,
care of City Cemetery, more and
better fire fighting equipment
and a company to use it, a better
jail, more police service, a police
car, more equipment for electric
department, lower rates for elec
tric current, anew filter plant,
extension of sewer lines, more in
dustries and an outstanding bond
ed debt of $64,000.00. He also
learned that City financial in
come was inadequate to supply
the most pressing needs to say
nothing of anticipated improve
ments and extensions.
Whereas, in his planning for
a better City he had wide awake
business men on Council, year in
and year out and faithful City
employees, all working together
to make dreams come true.
With diligent work on every
one’s part, it wasn’t many years
until the “Door of Progress’’ was
opened for the City of Jackson,
and then it was that Mayor Red
man adopted the military term,
“Forward, March” for each year
brought increased demands and
greater expenditures.
Whereas, in retrospective view
there is much evidence that many
of his dreams of progress did
materialize; namely, the payment
in full of bonded debt of $54,-
000.00, building a gymnasium for
school, anew filter plant, a sew
age treatment plant, a lift station
for sewage, new fire trucks with
volunteer company, modern truck
for sanitary department, lower
rates for electric current, more
equipment for W. & L. depart
ment, traffic lights, many mer
cury street lights, anew police
station, additional acreage for
Cemetery, anew City Hall and
jail, paving of many streets and
sidewalks, installation of a nat
ural gas system, parking meters
and many other improvements,
most of which accomplishments
were done on the pay-as-you-go
plan.
Also, five new industries lo-

cated in and near the City.
Therefore be it Resolved:
That in the retirement of Mr.
Redman, as Mayor, the City loses
an ambitious, capable, and faith
ful leader. As judge of the
Mayor’s court he presided and
rendered his judgments according
to law, upon substantiated evi
dence in each case without prej
udice or malice toward any one.
That the citizens lose a sym
pathetic official, who possesses
the art of understanding, and to
whom they could take their prob
lems, large or small.
That the City Council and City
employees lose a co-operative and
willing advisor who gave en
couragement and in s piration,
when needed, and they wish for
Mr. Redman, health, prosperity
and happiness.
Be it further Resolved:
That these resolutions be
placed upon the minutes of City
and a copy sent to the Jackson
Progress-Argus for publication.
This 31st day of December,
1962.
