There is another legal beauty in Sec. of"An
act TO incorporate towns and cities" ? 22i, sei.
Laws Of 1919 According to tA.s section any
town IN tie state containing not less than 1900 in.
Aab!;aa.5 may incorporate as a city vhencyer n
majority Of the voters thereof hall vote in iyor
Of being so incorporate at an election to he held
At the CorET HorsE Suppose tie good people OF
Peru IN the county, should ko j, into their head,
% be city, They would he compelled TO come
20 the Coa-t Aoas in Ottawa to express their
wishes on the subject under this law.
Carele'snoss, undoubtedly has something to do
with tbs loose kind Of legislation, bu, it is not all
lie fault; The legislature Of lsiS 40 had an i'm.
nense amount Of abouT TO perform, and bu, flr;y
lays to do it in. Every thing was therefore done
N hurry, AM as j. always the result in su,h ca
&c, much Of the work Was done badly.
