O wrangle Board Of Directors Discuss Registration Problems
Bluefield board of directors yesterday examined registration problems from Tuesday's election. Many voters had no polling because names were missing from the registration books and some ballots were rejected for lack of registration cards. Talks with county clerk Larry G. Bowling are planned before July 2 when the city votes again. The board accepted the informal resignation of City Manager William L. Kell, effective July 31, with duties starting in Weirton. They authorized bids to pave eight streets and considered additional paving and derby related matters. Licenses and building permits were issued for several local businesses and dwellings, with costs listed for each project.
