The Tiffin tribune. (Tiffin, Ohio) 1868-1887, 1870-03-04

Five Wards In TIGln.-The Citi-
zens' Meeting, called by the Council
to ascertain the feelings of the people
in regard'to making five wards in
Tiffin, decided that it ought to be
done. The matter was brought up Inf
the Council at special meeting on
Saturday night, and defeated. The
Council claimed that there. was not
time enough to give the notice requir-
ed by law. We learn that it is the
intention to submit the question to a
vote of the people next fall.
A general feeling seems to prevail
that there ought to be more wards.
As the wards now are, all prats of
the city cannot be represented, and
especially so with the territory just
annexed. Further, it is considered
that the business of the city is too
large for so few men to handle sue
cessfully. 1t takes too much time of
the men engaged in it, inasmuch as
they receive no salary. We are salts
fled that more wards are necessary.
