NEILLSVILLE - A contest has developed for the post of fifth ward alderman in the city of Neillsville. The new candidate, however, is not yet a resident of the city.

Jeffrey Martin, who resides south of Neillsville some two miles on Highway 73, has filed nomination papers and plans to be a resident of the city, and of that ward.

According to City Clerk William Gallagher, he must become a resident of that ward 10 days before the election.

Martin is opposing Joseph Wavrunek who is a veteran councilman and currently served as president of the council.

Other's whose term expire and who are unopposed for re-election are Martin Feuerstein, first ward alderman; and Walter Brown, alderman of the second ward.
