| lists from the towns of Brigham, Clyde and
Waldwick were not filed until after the expira-
| ton of thirty days from the first Monday in
May, and were therefore not considered by us
Ill making up the lists herewith returned. The
whole number of names on the lists properly
filed with the county clerk was 15i. which LEFT
deficiency of SiXty-One names which we sup
piled from the towns of Linden, Moscow, Brig
ham, Clyde vnd Naldwlck, and the city of Min
eral Point and the First ward of the city of
DOdgeville; by selecting siXty-one names of per
sons known to be qualified 10 serve as jurors as
nearly possible in equal proportions from the
names found on the poll lists OF the last general
election held in the said last named towns and
cities as 70 lows; Linden II; Moscow Z. Brig
ham g. Clyde .; First ward city of Dodgeville 3;
First ward city OF Mineral Point 10; and the Sec
! Ond ward OF said city of Mineral Point 9; and

We recommend the following apportionment
of jurors: Arena 6; Brigham 3; Clyde ,; Dodge
vile town :; Dodveville city, First ward ., Sac
Ond ward T. Ellen ,; Highland s. Linden 4; Mill
eral Point town I; Mineral Point city, First ward

And the following apportIonment of Petit Ju-

Miitiin 3; Mineral Point town s; Mineral Point
city First ward 6, Second ward 6; Moscow 5;
Pulaski 3; Ridgeway l.; Waldwick !; and Wyo-
ming Is.
This apportio2tment shows the importance of
making these lists and returning them to the
county clerk within thirty days next after the
first Monday in May of each year, according to
section 2526 of the Revised Statutes. At least
majority of the town supervisors or alderman
should sigh and certify TO the list Only one
list is to be sent from town ward. The
list ought to contain at least 10 names, and it
may contain twenty names AS both a grand
and petit juror list is to be made from the lists
returned to the county clerk it is best to put on
the list the whole twenty names, and we would
so recommend, as that would only give $50
names out of which to select 2l5 aud it would
save this board considerable labor and enable it
to make better apportiOnment.
We return the lists in duplicate and recon-.
mend that copy of each list be retained by the
county clerk in his office, and also that the lists
be adopted by this board. signed by the chair
man and forthwith delivered TO the clerk of the
circuit court of Iowa county.
