County Delays Hiring Agricultural Agent as Cobb Departure Looms
A county air of delay surrounds replacing the retiring agent LAL DL Cobb as of today. County Superintendent Williams says no successor is secured or likely soon with Maurice Douglas of Plat Rock as the only prospect who rejected the offered $2.10. The board plans no statements on progress and notes the salary cap remains $2,100 with similar requirements including automobile use. The office lacks books and equipment beyond a desk and bookcase, and funding ideas to raise pay appear unlikely to extend beyond the first year.
