Seven Seek Oak Hill Council Seats At City Hall Convention
Oak Hill citizens nominated seven men for the council at a two hour convention in City Hall. Of 16 candidates, H. A. Berry led with 134 votes, C. R. Hill 125, R. E. B. Kelly 117, George Blizzard 104, R. C. Woods 110, I. O. Moses 88, and C. E. Duncan 84. Several others were eliminated, making a June 3 ballot unlikely to include another ticket under a state law requiring conventions be held 20 days before the election. The seven elected will appoint a city manager under the Home Rule Charter adopted earlier this year.
