Wednesday August 8, 1073 Residents outside cities sue olice officer By HOWARD MILLER governments so they can have a voice In them." Star Staff Writer "If these people in Calhoun County call the city police, for. the mayors of Anniston and Oxford see little local impact' example, that would be a lower priority tne department to respond to. If thev call the county, they would say that is. from a suit filed in Birmingham federal court by the fired IS the city's jurisdiction. so these people are really in twilight zone," Suitts said.

nn" Suitts said the ACLU is asking that the court do things; convene a three-judge panel to declare the police jurisdiction concept unconstitutional; to enjoin U.S. Secretary of the Treasury George Schultz to reallocate revenue sharing money" permit all persons affected to pay fees and licenses under protest so that they migfit later -reclaim the money. i-v An Anniston police patrolman was dismissed Tuesday because of neglect of duty and insubordination, according to city public safety director Bill Jones.

The suit, filed Tuesday on behalf of the Civic Club of an unincorporated community near Tuscaloosa, charges, that Alabama cities levy taxes and other charges against county residents within their jurisdiction without giving them a right to vote on such matters.

This, the suit claims, is taxation without representation and government without the consent of the governedtandis therefore, unconstitutional. ACLU Alabama Director Steve Suitts said county residents who live with in police jurisdiction of cities are subject to the laws and ordinances of the cities and must pay certain taxes to the cities, but aren't allowed to vote in city elections. Anniston Mayor Clyde Pippin said today he feels the city would take no financial loss if it ceased taxation and police and fire protection for non-city residents. "I am-sure the city would come out several thousand dollars ahead if they stopped fire and police," Pippin said. "They pay only a half-tax, anyway, and that' nowhere the cost of the fire and police protection they are.

provided," Pippin said. Pippin said, "I have thought for years that we should have stopped everything, including water service, at the city lines." Oxford Mayor B. A. Adams Jr. told The Star he would like to see the situation in Oxford remain as it is, but added that Oxford would not feel a financial strain if it lost the half-tax paid by Talladega Countians near the city and within its jurisdiction.

"Financially, it would not hurt us, but I would like to see it remain like it is as far as providing them fire and police protection," Adams said. Recently, a petition was circulated among residents in' Talladega County near Oxford who complained about not receiving what they considered adequate police and fire protection. Adams said he has heard that another petition is being circulated among county residents asking that the status quo be maintained. "In fact, I have received some 20 or 25 calls and visits from persons in that area who would like to see it annexed into Oxford," Adams said. "They would like water and other city conveniences so they want to come into the city to get he said.

Adams said he would like to see the area annexed. Recently, in response to the protesting Talladega County residents and merchants, the Talladega legislative delegation was considering a bill to remove Oxford's jurisdiction from those persons. Announcements requesting public comment and opinion were running in a local newspaper. Adams said if a fire broke out in a building outside the city limits, the Oxford department would respond and do all it could. He said, however, that if the police jurisdiction were removed, any police cases made would not hold up in court.

"Any Oxford police cases outside the city limits would be no good," Adams said. The ACLU's Suitts told The Star today the suit was filed not to "disallow or discontinue" county residents from receiving services from cities, but to "restructure the local Kiwanis Club creates awards OPEN MON.
