THE BANNER. Wednesday, March 14. 1984 I Statewide Implications No Reorganization Plan In nneeking Redistricting Of County Hamilton and Jackson. However, the John M. Lewis, "Seymour lawyer, said the suit also asks the court to order redistricting of the county's 19 precincts which range in size from 170 residents in Salt Creek Township to 1,906 voters in Vernon Township.

The 1978 case filed against the Jackson County Board of Commissioners asks the court to change the No reorganization plan has been advanced in the five-year-old civil suh asking Jackson Circuit Court to order redistricting of the Jackson County commissioner and council districts, the lawyer for the plaintiffs said this week. The result of the suit could have statewide impact. Indiana have similar commissioner districts to those in Jackson County. A ruling in favor of the plaintiffs also would affect the other counties. The commissioners in 1982 passed an ordinance to redistrict the council and commissioner boundaries.

Although the council districts were changed some, commissioners retained the same boundaries. In the pre-trial order, both sides agree to the size of the commissioner and council districts as set by the 1982 county ordinance. Commissioner district two. which is represented by John Emily of Seymour Rt. 2 and includes the city of Seymour, has a population of 24,692.

Population of district one, which is the central part of Jackson County, including Brownstown. is 7.287 and of district three, the western portion, is 4.544. Representing the first district is Michael Tormoehlen of Brownstown. Garrett Fee of the Medora area represents district three. Emily's district, for which the plaintiffs seek more than one commissioner, includes Jackson Township with 15,784 residents.

Redding Township with 3.786, Vernon Township with 3,613 and Hamilton Township with 1.509. The smaller first district includes Brownstown. Driftwood, Grassy Fork and Washington townships. Fee's third district has Salt Creek. Pershing, Owen and Carr townships.

Although the four council districts are more even in population than the commissioner districts, the plaintiffs also seek more population balance in the boundaries, Lewis said. The breakdown include 9,652 persons in district one, 9,184 in district two, 8,948 in district three and 8,726 in district four. District one includes the townships of Brownstown, Salt Creek, Pershing. districts so Seymour the most populated area of the county receives more representation. Currently, only one commissioner represents the county's largest city in addition to other parts of that district.

Both sides in the cases have been ordered to exchange a list of witnesses and exhibits by April 30, according to a pre-trial order issued Feb. 21 by Lawrence Circuit Judge Linda Che-zem. She is the special judge in the Jackson Circuit Court case. Chezem also scheduled the case for trial July 1 1 and 12, the pre-trial order stated. Although plaintiffs want more representation for Seymour, defendants claim that the three commissioners are elected at-large and therefore are representative of all Jackson County residents.

The case could have statewide ramifications, according to local officials. They said that other counties in Brownstown Police To Question Suspects About Recent Thefts Vernon. Washington. Driftwood. Grassy Fork.
