the former division of Dallas county,
thmembers of justices precincts, and mere
/ wing places, were SO confused and illogi-
| ely arranged rs TO make the whole seem
udecipherable. Undr tho constitution the
county has been, and remains, properly
divided into eight justices precincts.

snail be at least one voting place in each such
precinct, but allows the commissioners court
4 to establish in each precinct as many addi-
tional voting places as they may deem neees-
ssry for public convenience. 1t also makes
absolutely each ward in an Incorporated town
or city separate and distinct election pre-
einct

'fisions aud comply with the con-
stitution an laws, the commissioners
