Commissioner's Court Hears Chester Township Residence Evidence
The commissioner's court Friday heard evidence on residency of parties connected to a Chester township remonstrance led by Fred Mearsh. Attorney Frank Dalley spoke as the panel set aside enough names to leave Antunes in the majority on a witness. Deliberations continued after dinner with a watermelon offered if time allowed. The board decided 218 names remained, five more needed, denying 220 as not meeting requirements. Gordon attempted to influence the notice timing amid questions over press details.
