Clerk Says No Authority To Order Special Census
County Clerk Robert B. King stated he believes he lacks legal power to order a special census for the annexation areas around Adrian. Petitions were signed by about 155 residents of Madison and Adrian townships seeking such a count. A census was taken three months earlier, and King said no law grants him authority to order another. If residents want a census, they must pursue it themselves. The annexation question will be decided at a special election on September 9.
