The word not, before the word |
meant, should have been omitted in the |
article published yesterday on offices, |
and the sentence should have read: |
Why not say simply districts which in
Guide town or part thereof, il il tUdS |
meant to spply generally, and not strict
ly to those districts only which contain |
the city or town or psrt of the same, in |
which lies the county seat? We may
add that county town. and incorpur-
ated town or city, are very different in |
their attitude to the law. A "county |
town" is that place, town, city or part Of |
the same, whether Incorporated or not, |
within the limits of the district wherein
is the county seat, and no portion of 8
city outside tho limits OF that cdpitdl
district can be considered as the
"cOunty town" or any part thereof, not
withstanding it may form a part of the
same corporation. A corporate city or
town is entitled to one magistrate-at-
large, without regard to what district or
districts it may form part of, or be in
cluded in, whether one CT several.
