Wednesday's meeting of the group of city supervisors was called by Michael Govatos of Benton Harbor, a non-partisan officially, but having a Democratic background. Govatos, like Carter, was one of the unwavering backers of the invalidated lease-purchase program. CAUCUS VOTE The caucus vote was nine for Carter, three for Ivan Price of Buchanan township, and one for Orval Benson of St. Joseph township. Price received his three votes from three of the four elected St.

Joseph supervisors attending the meeting. Cities represented and the number attending from each wereBenton Harbor, Bridgman, Buchanan, Coloma, St. Joseph, and Watervliet, 1 No one from Niles, the other incorporated city in the county, attended. Politically, the 14 guests numbered three Democrats and 11 Republicans. Following the April 5 elections, the county board meets to choose ak chairman for one year.

His autnonty to mane committee appointments generally sets the policy direction which the board will follow for the ensuine 12 months. Until population changes and amendments in the state law gave the cities numerical con trol of the board, the supervis ors always settled this leader ship question on purely partisan lines. Since the 1950s, this partisan split hasgivenway" to' a City vs dividing line AGREEMENT To reduce the first irritations caused by that development, the supervisors later adopted a gentleman's agreement to alternate the chairmanship every two years between a city man and a rural dweller. Price was a 1963 victim of a default in that agreement by the city representatives. As the single choice to take over under that revolving plan, he was dumped by his own fellow Re publicans among the city group which installed Dr.

Robert Tichnor, of St. Joseph, as chairman. Ticknor followed City Su pervisor William Gnodtke of Bu chanan. Although there is is no legal limit on the length of service in the chairman's post, by cus torn it has been held to two consecutive years for any individual Thus, unless the supervisors next month decided to abandon the custom, Ticknor will step down next month. Wednesday's caucus ostensibly displays an intention to return to the gentlemen's agreement.

NEW LINE However, the balloting on the three rural members indicates this could be more shadow than substance, and that temporarily at least, the board may be splitting on a new policy line the county hospital financing controversy. Carter has consistently supported the lease-purchase plan of Doyle Associates, Chicago financial to underwrite the Berrien Center facility.
