It’s Official: Greene
Has Got Competition
An unexpected candidate
filed for mayor of Boiling
Springs five minutes before
the deadline last Friday,
making competitive the Nov. 3
municipal election.
“I waited until five minutes
before noon,” said W.T.
“Bill” Ingram, the only
challenger in a field of
incumbents. ”1 wanted some
one else to run.”
Noon last Friday was the
deadline to file candidacy in
the Boiling Springs election.
Ingram, 68, is the father of
former Boiling Springs police
chief Bill Ingram, who with
two other officers resigned
their jobs June 2. The younger
Ingram publically has main
tained that they were forced to
resign in a closed meeting
with Mayor Jimmy Greene
after one of the policeman had
ticketed a volunteer fireman.
“I didn’t want people to
think ! was filing just for spite
over my son,” the elder
Ingram said in an interview
Tuesday. Asked why he filed
when no other challenger
appeared, Ingram laughed
and said, “I wanted someone
I could vote for.”
Ingram's opponent in the
Nov. 3 election is incumbent
mayor Jimmy Green. Greene,
43, is seeking his second full
term. Greene’s is one of three
positions on the council up for
election; his is the only that is
contested. Incumbent coun-
cilmen Graham C, Hamrick
and Max Hamrick have no
opposition.
Ingram criticized council’s
use of the closed session
during Greene’s past term.
“If any decisions are made
affecting the town,” Ingram
said, “they should be made in
public.”
Ingram’s previous govern
ment experience is a term as
town constable in Rutherford
County. He served in the
infantry during World War II
and has iived near Boiling
Springs for 21 years. Ingram
is ret ired from Douglas
Aircraft corp.
