For the past four years, Mr. Houston has served most efficiently as city manager and treasurer of Monroe. He was one of the city's most prominent and highly esteemed citizens, gentle in spirit, kind in motive and deed and always respectful of the rights of his fellowman. During his four years as city manager, Monroe has enjoyed a progressive, yet economical, government. Extensive improvements have been made to the streets of the city; a police radio station installed and numerous other progressive steps taken. He was also instrumental in planning a post-war program for the city and increasing the city's water supply as soon as war-time conditions will permit. In his passing Monroe has lost one of its most valuable citizens. The Monroe Enquirer Monroe, NC Monday, September 25, 1944 Page 1 Links provided by agagee.
