Sparks Move Next in County Supervisors
An editorial in the Douglas International discusses the county board's forthcoming formation, naming J. M Sparks as a likely chairman given his four years on the board. It notes one member each from Bisbee and Douglas, with northern county representation, and mentions Clerk A C Karger possibly leaving next month. The piece argues the chair should reside in Douglas or Bisbee due to regional importance and critiques public knowledge of the board's organization. It also references local political cliques and broader national sentiment on war as a peace argument.
