Edward B. Cartwright, a respected and loved member of
t h e Bar of the County of Arapahoe, State of Colorado, has recently
comp leted n e arly twenty y e ars of voluntary service to the City
of Englewood. The year 1940 was the year in which Edward B.

to the City. In that year, he was a member of the Citizens Committee
which drafted, and reconunended to Council, the provisions of the
fi r st Bu ildinq Code adopted by the City. In the same year, he was
also a me mb er of t h e Zo ning Cod e Conunittee which drafted, and
reco mme nded to Council, the City's first Zoning Ordinance.
Inunediately upon the adoption of the first Zoning
Ordinance of the City, he took an active part in its implementation
and administration by accepting appointment as one of the original
memb e rs of t h e first Bo ard o f Adjustment and Appeals of the City,
in whi c h capac i t y h e serv e d f or a period of two years.
Again, in the year 1952, he accepted appointment to this
Boa r d a n d h as s erv e d c ont i nuously from that time until February
l of 1969 -a pe riod o f s e v e nteen years.
This City Council recognizes that some of the most
difficu lt d e cision s wh ich a r c made by any City agency are required
t o b e ma de by th e memb e rs of the Board of Adjustment and Appeals
of this City. To this Board, and to the City as a whole, Edward
B. Cartwright has brought a high degree of honesty, integrity and
forthrightness. He has gained the respect of the City as a whole
a nd of all persons who have appeared before him.
At the time of his resignation, this City Council, on
b e half of the entire City of Englewood and all of its residents,
des ires to say to Edward B. Cartwright that we appreciate the
service which h e h a s r e ndered, we acknowledge the high respect
in which he is held and we wish to him all good fortune in all
of his future endeavors.
