Council to Meet Very Soon'
To Name Cobb s Replacement
Mayor Bill Nami ftuid today he planned to call a fpeeia
meeting of the city council "very soon" on the naming of an in
terim councilman to fill out the unexpired term of LeRoy Cobb appropriate' 1
who resigned last Thursday
Cobb’g term runs until April. 1964
“We’ve had three or four who vc been Interested,’’ Mayor
Nami said, adding that talks were slated with another.
Selection of tha councilman will be by majority vote of the
council, Nami said. "We'll have a meeting and each councilman
will be given the opportunity to make recommendations. This isn't
a direct appointment deal.”
Councilman Cobb resigned after almost three years on the
city governing board to accept a full time military position In
Houston. His resignation was accepted last week, and at the pre-
»ent time the council has only four rriembers instead of five.
Whoever is appointed will not have to run for re-election
this April
Terms of Mayor Pro Tern I. A Skret Bauer and Owned
man Bobby Wagner expire at that time.
