Mr.. Belts then offer sd the the follow
ing preamb BILE and resolution.
WaEREAs, A. the recent scheol cleo
tion In the Eighth ward many irregu-
laritles appear. The Inspector did not
seal the ballot box so that 1t could not
| be tampered with. The box was not
| brought to the Board room directly from
| the polls, but was airied to .tae house
| of the inspector; and furthermore the
| number of ballots found in the box does
| not agree with the number OF names on
the poll list, therefore,
| Resolued, That this Board hereby de
| clares the election held In the Eightt
ward, on Saturday, April Z, as null Anc
| void.
