Clark: No Power To Redistrict
Atty. Gen. William G. Clark said boards of supervisors in township counties cannot redistrict for one man one vote elections. Illinois law provides for election of supervisors and assistants by township population, not equal population, and thus does not conform to Avery v. Midland County. The opinion applied to Hancock County.
