Gooch, Chairman Clark County Democratic Central Committee Lookadoo Building Arkadelphia, Arkansas 71923 Dear Sir: This vill acknowledge receipt of your letter of June 25, 1968. in which you state: Enclosed you will find photocopies of minutes of the council meetings and copy of Ordinance No. 231, which amends Ordinance No. 7, to provide for the appointment of the City Marshall. Heretofore the City Marshall had been an elective office, and we have two qualified persons running for the office now. We have been advised that a petition has been filed to refer this Ordinance No. 231 to the people for a vote. The County Clerk advises us that he certified the petition containing the names as qualified voters of the City of Gurdon and there was no question as to the sufficiency of the signers of the petition. In view of the fact that the matter will not be voted on until the November election, and we have no way of knowing the outcome, won't we still have to have the two candidate's names appear on the ballot for July 30th? The Arkansas Constitution, Amendment 7, provides in part that any measure referred to the people by referendum petition shall remain in abeyance until such vote is taken. There- fore, the ordinance providing for the appointment of the City Marshal cannot take effect until. it is approved by the voters.
