DECIDED SEPTEMBER 3, 1974.

Quo warranto. Stephens Superior Court. Before Judge Gunter.

Alton M. Adams, for appellants.

Maylon K. London, Martin W. Welch, Winston Owen, for appellees.


The adoption of Ga. L. 1974, pp. 2037-2046 (Act No. 765) providing for the electorate in Stephens County, Georgia, to determine by referendum the length of the term of office of the members of the Board of Commissioners of Stephens County, and providing further for the election of the three commissioners as prescribed in said Act, which by its terms repealed any conflicting laws, has rendered moot the sole question raised in this appeal addressed to the constitutionality of Ga. L. 1970, pp. 2015-2017 (Act No. 738), which provided a 4-year term of office for the members of the Board of Commissioners of Stephens County. See Board of Commrs. of Walton County v. Dept. of Public Health, 229 Ga. 173, 175 (2) ( 190 S.E.2d 39); City of Lilburn v. C E Builders, 231 Ga. 189 ( 200 S.E.2d 764).

Appeal dismissed. All the Justices concur.


SUBMITTED MAY 1, 1974 — DECIDED SEPTEMBER 3, 1974.
