Three Might
Make Mayor
Race In May
H. T. Powell and c.
l.. Finch May OPP
pose Watkins, Seek
ing Sixth Term

Nine weeks from today on Tuesday
Nav 4, citizens of Henderson will be
trekking to the polls in the annual
municipal election to select mayor
and four aldermen to serve for two
years Half of the aldermen will be
elected, the other half holding over
for another year of their two-year
terms.
At the present time there appeared
the possibility that the contest for
mayor would Ee a three-cornered af-
fair, with Mayor Irvine B. Watkins,
seeking reelection for a sixth term
of two years, after serving ten years
in that capacity. being opposed by
Henry T. Powell, who unsuccessfully
sought the office two years ago, and
CLYDE L. Finch, building materials
dealer Both the mayor and Mr.
Powell are lawyers.
For time there had been talk that
A. A. Bum, who was mayor decade
and a half or more ago. would seek
the office again. His election as city
attorney when j. p. and j. H. FOL
licoffer resigned the first of this year
apparently put an eno 10 any Sucn
possibility, however.
While four aldermen are to be elect
ed, one in each of the city's four
wards, it is expected that the race for
mayor will completely overshadow
these contests, if any should develop.
Whether the incumbents whose terms
expire will seek reelection, and
whether thew will have opposition in
the event they do, was a matter of
conjecture two months in advance Of
the election.

LITTLE WORK FOR
TOWNSVILLE ROAD
Continued Bad Weather Has OperaC-
ed Against Contractors In
Building Program

Very little work has been done on
the paving job on the Townsville road
in the past several months, 1t was
learned today. The present road con-
tract there calls for tar and gravel
paving for a distance of approximate
ly seven miles north from Henderson.
Much of the bridge work was done
last fall.
The extremely bad weather and
continuous rain and cloudy weather
of the winter has virtually prevented
any work of consequence. With the
coming of spring and better weather,
however, it is expected the contrac-
tors will be able to make better time
and rush the work on toward COM
pletion.
