- Local Option Election. Code 1906, § 1777. Board of supervisors. Appeal. Grounds for dismissal. Review ineffectual. An appeal duly taken to the circuit court from an order of the board of supervisors rejecting a petition for an election to determine whether intoxicants may be sold in the county, should not be dismissed by the circuit court because it may by lapse of time be powerless to render a judgment ordering an election as provided by Code 1906, § 1777, relating to the time of holding such elections.
