Ted Watkins Refund Claim Rejected by Supervisors
A claim by Ted Watkins for the $225 filing fee was rejected by a 469 to 1 vote of the county supervisors with Oscar Kier dissenting. Presenting the claim was Jack Roberson of Ukiah. Watkins had campaigned for the incumbent in the special election to fill the First District seat after the death of Cleng Miller. The claim was denied after County Clerk Jim Broaddus ruled the nominating papers were invalid. The board also granted a zoning variance for Mabel Deltorchio of Gualala to rebuild after highway expansion, and authorized Chairman Scaramella to amend the agreement with the Corps of Engineers over Lake Mendocino. No action was taken on Ukiah’s request for Civil Aeronautics Board intervention regarding Pacific Air Lines service next month.
