AS, it has never been the custom of the logislative body of
the City of Paducah to adopt resolutions in memory of former officials who have
distinguished themselves as public sorvan ts, but it now seems especially fittingthat
we should cxpreas through the records of the city our approciation of Mr. Lackey rs
services, together with the high esteem in which he was held by all of his acquaintan-
ces; and,
VMIML'AS, bafore moving the adoption of these resolutions, it
would be well to call to mind the achievements which made for Lir. Lackey a record that
will long be remembered. Game of these achievements are as foilows:
I.1•. Lackey sponanred and it was largoly through his tireless
o:'rorta that there was constructo;l in the city a syatom of otz•cut paving by which a
nurni..;• n:' nain struts were connected with t.ho „tate and Federal hil-hways. La
was :rr.ir• >;ntal in hnoinr a,'opted an ordinance crantinr; and establishing a City Plan-
nin^ and Zonin7 Co:r_:isalon. It was also durin•; ills u'-1lnlsLrutlon that tho City
became the purchnser of the waterworks sysL-cm. All of his achievements havo not only
benefits' t?:e pre -ant (_ar._ratlon but will be pnssod on to Lo enjoyed by future g,enarett-
