Board to Defer Alderman Appointment;
At Least Six People Being Considered
The appointment of an aider
man to succeed William L. Alex
ander, resigned, may be deferred
until the latter part of this week
hy the Town Board of Aldermen.
That was the feeling Monday
of several hoard members, be
cause Mayor Oliie Cornwell is
in Detroit, Mich., and will not
return until Thursday.

go into routine matters at its
meeting last (Mpnday) night
and defer others until Thursday
or Friday night of this week.
Also, meantime, the names of
six persons were mentioned fre
quently about town as likely j
prospects to succeed Mr Alex
ander on the Board.
They are: Whitd Rowell, Clyde
Carter, Roland Giduz, Miles
Fftch, Vance Hogan, and Herman
Ward.
Some of the aldermen had
hoped it would he possible to;
name Mr. Alexander’s successor
from the newly annnexed areas
to the town. But Attorney Gener
al W. B. Rodman’s opinion pre
vented that.
Town Attorney John Q. Le-
Grand said Mr. Rodman hud
had ruled no resident of the new

serve because they were not yet

Lanier Listening to Friends on When
To Step Down as County Commissioner
Whether Edwin S. Lanier will,
resign from the Orange County
Board of Commissioners in I>e
cember, in January or February
rests largely upon the advice of
his friends and supporters.
Mr. Lanier was elected to the
State Senate last Tuesday. His
term as county commissioner does
not expire for two more years, |
and he will not lie sworn in as
a State Senator until the Gener
al Assembly convenes in Feb-|
ruary.
Therefore, he can resign as
commissioner either in December
or January or wait until he takes
the Senate oath.
“For a while it was clear in'
my mind to resign in December,”
said Mr. Lanier yesterday. "But
then I felt it would be proper to
seek the advice of my friends and
supporters throughout the county.
I would much prefer to follow
their wishes as to a date when!
