Norbert Uhl, Third ward coun
cilman for 18 years, was not a
candidate for reelection.
Both Marcellus and Walling
slates were born out of the pe
tition method. (A caucus hasn’t
been held here in several dec
ades.)
None of the margins was con
sidered decisive because a switch
of 25 votes in any of the wards
might have changed the council
seatings.
H. L. Lindberg and Mrs. Loret
ta Hynes, both incumbents, were
easily reelected to the board of
education for three-year terms.
Both captured more than 800
votes each. There was a flurry of
writeins for Leigh Reynoldson,
who collected 179.
The mail vote showed: Walling
i —10; Marcellus—5; Golden — 2;
| Rodman—2; Johnson—1; Coyne—
I 5; Heermann—3, Fetrow—3; Lind
| berg—10; Hynes—8.
Meanwhile, the C. J_ Gatz-Jack
i Axbuthnot petition seeking an in
I junction against the council is
pending in Holt county district
court. Answer dates on latest liti
gation are April 8 for the defend
ants and April 15 for the plaint
iffs.
Mr. Gatz told The Frontier he
would offer no comment at this
time.
