Expansion of Mullens government proposed by Lions Club
At a Mullens Lions Club meeting, interest grew in expanding Mullens city government to five or seven commissioners. City Attorney Toler would check state code, and Mayor Cook favored a five member board with a mayor and four councilmen. A petition by 10 percent of last vote would trigger a public vote, potentially as part of the June 14, 1960 election cycle. The club did not act, deferring to individual choice.
