At the school election ON Monday there
were l35 votes polled. 1t was larger than
the usual vote of the district; DR.. Morris
receiving 1870 Of the number. Twenty-six
women voted. mostly living in the LIST ward
We are told that application was made to
the legislature last winter, by lady of the
2nd ward. to have the law changed SO that
voting would be in the school house, which
is in the End ward, in order to give the wo-
men better chance to vote. 1t was so
changed and yet it seems the women Of
that ward did not improve their opportunity
for cut of the ,wenty-six women who voted,
only five or six were from that ward and the
party who made the application for change
in the law did not herself vote; all the 9TH
er female voters We're residents of the lst
ward. We suggest that the voting place be
changed back, for the accommodation of the
business men. If the women Of that ward
don't want to vote and will not vote, then
give the business men as much convenience
for voting as they need, instead of forcing
them to travel or I of a mile from their
place of business just to please few wo-
men who will not themselves vote, but sim.
ply enforce burdens upon others who want
to vote.
