Executive Order 8070—Exemption of Sims Ely From Compulsory Retirement for Age

Whereas in my judgment, the public interest requires that Sims Ely, City Manager of Boulder City, Nevada, who, during the current month, will reach the retirement age prescribed for automatic separation from the service, applicable to him, be exempted from compulsory retirement for age for a period of one year:

Now, Therefore, by virtue of and pursuant to the authority vested in me by section 204 of the act of June 30, 1932, 47 Stat. 382, 404 (U.S.C., title 5, sec. 715a), I hereby exempt the said Sims Ely from compulsory retirement for age for a period of one year ending March 31, 1940.
