Elkhart County Decides Not To Finish Year. Appointments Delayed
County commissioners in Elkhart delayed a decision on county attorney and other key posts after their December session. Incumbent John B. Gatshall and rival M. J. Davis are potential county attorney candidates, with Ira H. Church favored to win the post of county poor attorney if Gatshall is not chosen. The board will reconvene later this month to consider the appointments before Mr. Berlin’s retirement, and bonds for coroner elect Walter Stanifer and sheriff John Ziesel were approved along with liquor licenses for George E. Sherman and Charles H. Russell of Elkhart.
