With deep regret we inform you of the death
of two long term outstanding former municipal
officials from the City of Champaign.
Al Tuxhorn served as City Attorney for over
thirty-five years. Many municipal attorneys will
remember him for his willingness to counsel and
assist younger municipal attorneys as they learned
their governmental responsibilities. Al served as a
member of the League's Legislative Committee
for over twenty years and was it's Chairman on
several occasions.
John Kearns was the Director of Public Works
at Champaign for over thirty years. He was also
acting City Manager on several occasions. John
was a charter member of the League's Public
Works Committee and served as it's Chairman on
four occasions. He regularly acted as the spokesman for our cities and villages with the Illinois
Highway Department. John Kearns was considered one of the State's outstanding authorities on
the use of Special Assessment Procedures.
The Municipal League was further saddened
to learn of the death of Mayor Fred Wehling of
Sandwich.
