Vol. XXX, No. 30
The message that some local residents
desired the option of electing a replacement
to fill the vacancy left by the recent
resignation of G. E. "Tommy" Thompson
as judge of the Indian Wells Valley Judicial
District Court was listened to and then
approved unanimously by tbe Kern County
Board of Supervisors at a public bearing
held Monday in Bakersfield.
The motion to set the wheels moving for
holding a special election to determine who
will succeed Judge Thompson was made by
Supervisor LeRoy Jackson. At the up-
coming special election, voters will elect a
successor to serve for the remainder of
Judge Thompson's unexpired term
(through 1976).

required to choose a judge for the start of
