Roberts resigns and is reappointed as county commissioner
C. C. Roberts resigned as Pontotoc county commissioner yesterday and was reappointed today by Governor Johnston. The move follows the Bunch decision ruling that a commissioner appointed for an unexpired term cannot automatically serve a full term. Roberts had been appointed in 1927 to fill the unexpired term of Clay Stephens, whose term ended June 30 this year, necessitating the reappointment to cover Stephens’s six-year term beginning after the 1926 election.
