Edwards Delays Constable Abolition Vote to 1978
Edwards agrees to postpone a county wide vote on abolishing the constable office from August 16 to 1978. The delay is a cost saving measure prompted by a call from the governor's office and aims to align referenda with general election day. Edwards backed the bill after Constable Steve Shirley petitioned to abolish the office and fellow Morgan County Constable J H Verner urged retention.
