Road Vacancy
Faces County
Supervisors Must
Fill 3-Yeor Term

Appointment of successor to
the unexpired term of the late
Floyd S. Finch, chairman of the
Macomb County Road Commits
sion, probably will be delayed
until the regular January meet
ing OF the Board of Supervisors,
Floyd w. Rosso. supervisors
chairman, said this morning.
Three years of Mr.. Finch's six
year term remain and any APP
pointee would hold office until
Jan. !, 1947, under laws govern
ing such appointment.
LIKELY CANDIDATES
Prominently mentioned as a
probable successor to the de-
ceased road chairman, is Edward
Priestap, we'll known Richmond
lumber dealer, diligent worker
in community affairs and act
i've member of Macomb County
Draft Board No. 3.
Likewise mentioned as a prob
able appointee is the name Of
Adrian A. Lingemann, himself
member of the supervisorial
board which must make the
appointment; and president of
the Village of st. Clair Shores.
The preponderantly Republi-
can supervisors board possesses
ample weight to name COP
adherent to the Finch vacancy,
Both Lingemann and Priestap
meet that qualification although
most observers consider it a
foregone conclusion that North
Macomb county resident will be
selected TO fill the vacancy.
