i. Wodlinger. Sears won the
:ounciI-table seat over Jack
Hinckel, last year’s council
man, by a three to one vote of
L,he councilmen in session
Monday night.
Earlier, Wodlinger wrote
the council that he would re
sign his position if the council
so desired. Wodlinger has
been absent from the council
1 table since October 22, 1951.
He was elected for a two year
term on October 2, 1951, dur
ing the annual city election.
The city council has been
handicapped for the past two
months because of the absence
of Mayor Lee C. Bettinger
and Wodlinger. Bud Metzgar
has been serving as mayor
pro-tem during Bettinger’s
absence.
I The action Monday night,
which brought about the elec
tion of a new councilman, was
forced upon the council be
cause Councilman Jay Wolf
plans to be absent from the
city for the next two weeks
and the council must take
immediate action on city!
matters.
Four councilmen and a
mayor must be present before ■
any action can be taken on
city matters.
The names of Hinckel and
Sears were suggested when
acting mayor Metzgar called
for nominations for the vacant
seat.
The balloting for the two
candidates was secret.
However, D. N. Hoylman,
submitted Sear’s name and
Councilman William Worth
submitted Hinckel’s.
Those members of the coun
cil present Monday night were
Worth, Wolf, Basil Clark and
Hoylman.
