Commissioners Select
r. B. Vanocker For
The New Mayor

At the meeting of the City Com
missioners Tuesday morning, the
formal resignation of A. E. Penley,
Mayor, was considered, and after
some discussion R. B. Vanocker, just
retiring as Undersheriff of Delta
county, was selected.
There were a number of aspirants
for the appointment, it is stated, and
in the case of Mr.. Vanocker the
place sought the man, rather than
the man seeking the place, for it
was not until friends called and
congratulated him that he even
knew of his name being considered
This is a distinct recognition of Mr..
Vanocker's ability as an officer, and
of his worth as a man. He has
served as Sheriff for a number
of months and has given the utmost
satisfaction. He looks to US like a
mighty good choice to fill the un.
expired term of mayor of Delta.
Mr.. Penley was first elected may.
or in 1921, and again in 1928. He
has therefore served three years
and there is one year left of his
term Of office. He will devote his
entire time to the Texaco Oil bust
ness in Delta.
