     3    68.  In the county of Cayuga, the provisions of this section requiring
     4  a person to be a resident of  the  political  subdivision  or  municipal
     5  corporation  of  the state for which he or she shall be chosen or within
     6  which his or her official functions are required to be exercised,  shall
     7  not  prevent  a  person  from  holding  the office of assistant district
     8  attorney or senior assistant district attorney of the county of  Cayuga,
     9  provided that such person resides in Cayuga county or an adjoining coun-
    10  ty  within  the  state  of  New York; provided, however, that any person
