JOHN II. PETERSON WILL
SERVE Az COMMISSIONER

The county commissioners were
scheduled to have met last Friday
but owing to the snow blockade.
Commissioner Evans was unable to
get to Paris, 80 the meeting was
adjourned until Friday, March 9.
The question as to who will serve
as commissioner from the second
district has been settled by the an
nouncement OF Ezra Bulge that he
would not accept the office. regard
less OF the recent decision OF the su-
preme court. Even though Mr.. Bulge
should now desire to continue In Of
flee, It ts doubtful whether he would
be entitled TO do so for the reason
that he abandoned the office on the
sth of last January and permitted
John T. Peterson, the governors ap-
pointee, to assume the duties OF com
missioner. This. In short. is th
opinion OF the attorney general In
letter to county attorney Kunz. But
az Mr.. Bulge retires of his own free
will there will be no squabble over
the matter and John T. Peterson will
serve as commissioner for the en-
suing two years.
