proved March S 1883, dividing the State
into Senatorial Districts, provides that the

the county Of Sacramento not included

County Government Act provides that
the Board OF Supervisors Shall on or be-
fore the first Monday of September, 1884,

Supervisor districts, Is nearly equal i'll pop
ulatiOn Is may be" Sacramento has now
seven SuperviSOrs-one from each ward in
the city and three from the county outside
OF the city The reduction from seven to
five viii cause the Board of Supervisors
considerable trouble, uecessitating a change
in the polling precincts to correspond
with the Supervisor districts, and at the
same time not interfere with the Assembly
districts. Just how the population can be
equalized SO Is not to interfere is apt to be
q puzzle.
