"When the -entire-tounty votes in' the election, It's OUT interpretation that at this time that will survive," Stewart said. "I was told that that was all the salvation we had. like in your county, there should never be in any trouble if a commissioner doesn't render service all they've got to do is vote him out of office at the next election." The federal ruling anplies only to those counties like neighboring Talladega County where commissioners are elected only by the residents of their districts. At the time the amendment on Calhoun's act was offered to the legislature this summer. R.

B. Cates, first vice chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee offered a different rationale for the redisricting. Cates charged that Simmons was giving in Beat 3 in the northern District at the time he was elected to serve as commissioner from the Southern District. This would have violated the act setting Up the commission. But according to Gray.the beat lines are indefinite right now.

"We just don't know where the beat lines exactly are," said Gray last week. "We're working on a map right now." Gray said Simmons lives more in Saks than in the Weaver beat which was switched.

"So usSupreme- court- ruling would" nor affect you, according to our interpreta- tion.

Stewart said at least 41 other counties could be affected by the ruling handed down by the U.S. Supreme Court in a case affecting Midland, last year. Last summer, at the request, of the county commission, the legislative delegation amended the original 1939 act which set "up the commission and the two residency districts. The amendmenf "changed Beats 3 and 23 Weaver and Four Mile and Leatherwood) from the smaller northern district to the larger southern District Two. It also changed Beats 14 and 18 (Sulphur Springs and Ohatchee) into the northern district from the Southern Distrct.

Before the change, District One had 9,954 registered voters on the county poll list; District Two covered 24,980 voters. After amendment which commissioners said was "to comply with the law requiring more equal distribution of representation," District One has 9,241 registered voters and District Two has 25,693. The city of Anniston with its 15,573 voters and 3 8,000 population is included in District Two. Two members of the three-man county commission run at large but must live in the districts they represent. Earl Morgan of Piedmont is com-missioner from DlstricrOne and Roscoe Simmons who lives on Glade Road in the Saks-Weaver area is commissioner from District Two.

Gray lives at Jacksonville. The commission chairman can live anywhere In the county there is no residency requirement for this position. All three commissioners have an equal vote on the commission which controls the total tax revenues for Calhoun County. "What we were trying to do was to divide the amount of roads we cover between the Northern and the Southern Gray said. "We dont cover any roads in the city of Anniston.

That thing (the amendment) gave each commissioner three foremen where before the southern district had four foremen and the northern one had two.
