The Blount County News-Dispatch, 4 Apr 1901 Recent Cut. The recent Act of the General Assembly detaching a portion of Blount county and attaching the same to Cullman county has created a great deal of dissatisfaction in the county. So much so that at a recent term of Commissioner's court that body employed Messrs. Robinett and Hall to give a written opinion upon the constitutionality of the Act. This they did and at the meeting of the Court held here last Monday the opinion of these gentlemen was read in open court, and each pronounced the law unconstitutional and void upon several grounds. These attorneys without any sort of a conference or consultation as to what the opinion should be, each reached the same conclusion as to the validity of the law, and they were further employed by the Court to begin whatever litigation they deem best to test the validity of the law at once. A change in the boundary line of a county can only be had upon a two-third vote of both houses of the General Assembly and not by a vote of the people. The Blount County News-Dispatch, 25 Apr 1901 The change in the boundary line between Cullman and Blount counties carried by a good majority. The Blount County New-Dispatch, 23 Jan 1902 The Supreme Court sustains the validity of the act changing the boundary line between Blount and Cullman counties. So this settles the matter.
