James Carroll
Edit Profile
Career
He lived with his family at 2226 Rampart Boulevard. Carroll was appointed temporarily to the 12th District seat by the City Council on March 17, 1931, by eight votes for him, one vote for former Councilman Douglas Eads Foster and one vote for Lois Williams, Ford"s secretary. Carroll said he would not be a candidate for the full two-year term beginning July 1 and that he would retain Mistress
Williams in her position.
He did run for the balance of the unexpired term in the May 1933 election and was chosen over the other candidate for the short-term job, George West. Scott. He thus served about fourteen weeks as council member for District 12, which at that time was bounded on the south by Pico Boulevard, the west by Hoover Street, the north by Fountain Avenue and the east by Figueroa Street.
Carroll was a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Congress in the 14th District in the August 1934 primary election.
Membership
He was secretary of the Northwest Chamber of Commerce, a member of the Municipal League and of the executive council of the Holy Name Society.
