Margaret Brooks named interim clerk
By DOUG WALKER Mrs. Margaret Brooks was named interim clerk-treasurer at a special session of the Milford Town Board Thursday afternoon. Mrs. Brooks replaces Maria Lozano, who resigned from the position July 22. Mrs. Brooks was Milford clerktreasurer from 1975 until 1980. She replaced Harry Schultz in the position on an interim basis in 1975, and later the same year ran unopposed in the general election and served a four-year term. Mrs. Brooks has indicated that she will run for the office in the next election. Mrs. Lozano was a member of the Republican party, and Indiana statutes state that the office be filled by a member of the party until the expiration of her term on December 31,1983. Mrs. Brooks is a Democrat. A caucas composed of Kosciusko County Republican Chairman Jean Northenor and Van Buren precinct committeemen Karl Keiper and Doral McFarrin was scheduled to be held on Augusts, when a replacement for Mrs. Lozano was to be selected, but was postponed and rescheduled for Thursday at 7 p.m. in the community building, because only Mrs. Brooks, a
