I did take a look at the website, and evidently he had been the chair of both boards for several years before the passage of the Public Enabling Statutes in 1935.

We have a list of all past chairman on the Board's website:<br /><br />http://shelbycountytn.gov/index.aspx?nid=115<br /><br />Josh Whiteheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00411035748459765662noreply@blogger.com
