New System To
Choose Commissioners
(Continued Brum Page One)
.mintv. the Oountv Executive Com
mittee of any political party therein
shall nominate the candidate 01 any
such Dartv as the nominee to be vot
ed On in such general elections." ;
From this act to provide lor the
nomination and election of the Coun
ty Commissioners, it appears that
from now on no one township will bf
represented by more than one com
missioner and at the same time
every township will be represented
een if a candidate has to be drafted
This method ... the new one . . .
resembles in some degree the custom
observed in Perquimans County be
fore the year 1900 when the different
townships nominated and elected
their own commissioners. The dif
ference now is that the townships
only nominate.
For forty years Perquimans Coun
ty's Board of Commissioners has
'page rovrJ
been composed of the five men high
est in the primaries, regardless ol
the township represented or whethei
certain townships were represented
on the board at all.
It will certainly call for at least
one change in the. present board
whether the incumbents are opposed
or not.
