Following his education in the local schools he took a humble position with the Pennsylvania Salt Manufacturing Company where he rose 6teadily from the ranks. His genius for or ganization and administration was recognized by that corporation by naming him General Superinten dent of the Wyandotte plant, a post he capably filled until his untime ly death. His untiring energy and absolute fidelity to duty were a by word among the host of friends who knew and admired him. “Notwithstanding the heavy de mands on his time, he accepted an appointment on the Municipal Serv ice Commission in 1926 as a civic duty and devoted his considerable talents to that body with energy and distinction for more than six years. Embracing the period of the depression and of plant expansion, his public service covered a very difficult time, calling for more than ordinary ability, foresight and judgment, and these admirable qualities he possessed in a marked degree. Throughout his public and private life Mr. Leßar maintained an abiding interest in civic affairs of any nature tending to make the city of his birth—the city he loved, a better place to live and work and play. “This Council believes the public .ervice of Mr. Leßar should be per manently recorded in the annals of the city, and therefore, be it RESOLVED by the City Council of Ihe City of Wyandotte that the itizens of the City, through us their representatives, do hereby declare heir sense of the great loss to the immunity in the passing of Mr. William D Leßar, and do acknowl edge his unselfish devotion and fi delity to the best interests of the city, and be it further • RESOLVED that as an expres sion of sympathy, and to perpetu ate the same on the records of the city, this Resolution be spread at length upon the journal of this day's proceedings, and that the Clerk be. and he hereby is directed to trans mit a copy of this Resolution to the family of the deceased.'’ YMCA Sponsors Party for Young People of City One of the finest parties of the season tor young people will be held at the Masonic Temple Saturday evening, December 2.
