COURTHOUSE MAY BE LOST BY STALE
Russell County To Vote On Removal To
 Girard

PHENIX CITY, Ala, Nov. IA Especial. IA special election will soon be held in Russell county, Ala, to de- termine whether or not the courthouse will be moved from Scale to the Girard section of Phenix City, Governor Bran don having today appointed an elec- tion committee. The commissioners are T. H. Dennis, chairman Charles 1llges, Scale and T. H. Ingram, Jr., of Marvyn.
 The petition was signed by major ity of the qualitd electors of the coun- ty and asked that an election be held to decide as to the removal of the coun- ty seat from its present location at Scale to Phenix City.
 The proclamation directed that the commissioners, as soon as they are qualified, proceed with the discharge, of their duties. According to information from the citizens interested in the pro- posal, the commissioners are required under the law to call an election. They have 30 days after their appointment in which to take action. The election must be held under 60 days after the action is taken by the commissioners and must not be more than 120 days after the calling.
 Much interest has been created by the proposal to move the county seat from Scale to Girard section of Phenix City, the move having been launched in Girard.
 Scale has been the county seat of Russell county for many years. Girard claims, among other things that most of the juruors of the county live in Girard and that they are put to much inconvenience to go to Scale to court.
 If the removal plan is carried it will be necessary to establish the courthouse in the Girard section. as that part of Phenix City is in Russell county, the old Phenix City section being in Lee county. <m
