CLERK HAMILToN's ERROR.

IT Neeessitates a Special Session OF the
Supervisors.
A special session of the Board OF Super
visors was held yesterday afternoon.
Messrs. Greer, Bates, Black and Teb5ets
being present.
1t was understood that the meeting was
called for the purpose of correcting a
clerical error that had occurred in the
minutes of the late meeting at which the
election precincts, polling-piaees, judges,
Inspectors and Clerks for the coming cleo
ton were agreed upon; also, for making
such changes in the personnel OF the cleo
ton boards as they saw ut.
The error referred TO was 10 reference to
the boundaries of Precincts IT. ano so,
Folsom and NHtoma districts. The Board
had originally decided that the dividing
line between these two precincts shoulc
be Alder creek, hat the minutes showed
that Buffalo creek was the line.
Elk Supervisor Chrlsty OF Folsom APP
peared before the Board and announced
that he had been delegated committee OF
one, BY the citizens of Folsom, TO call the
Boards attention to the error. The Fol
somites had understood that Alder creek
was to be the line, and had gone ahead
with registration with that understanding
The effect of the error, should 1t not be
rectifed, would be to throw all OF Natona
district into Folsom district.
?. A Humbert also of Foisom. suostan-
tiated Mr. Christy's statement OF the case
Supervisor Greer then offered resoiu-
ton, the effect of which was to correct the
error complained OF.
Mr.. Tebbets said that before voting on
IL H. 10 I-pnu- What the
law permitted in the premises. He under
stood that no change could be made in the
boundaries of election precincts inside OF
thirty days before election.
Assistant District Attorney A. J. Bruner
and Superior Judge Armstrong were pres
ent to answer just such conundrums as
this.
Mr.. Bruner said he did not consider that
the Board would be making changes at all.
1t would be merely correcting an error that
appeared upon the minute book. The
Board had already decided that Alder
creek should be the dividing line between
the precincts, and the mere fact that the
record did not show this did not affect the
matter.
Judge Armstrong agreed with Mr..
Bruner. He said the Board undoubtedly
had the power to correct an error OF this
kind.
A vote was then taken on Mr.. Greer's
resolution and it was adopted unanl-
mously.
This matter disposed OF, the Supervisors
proceed to make necessary changes in the
election officers.
George Schro;h was substituted for John
J. sehro;h as judge of election in the First
Precinct of the First Supervisor District
for the reason that the former is not resi-
dent of that precinct. w. H. Wood was
substituted for H F. Dillman es clerk in
the same precinct and district, because Of
the latter's illness. G. W. Cavitt was given
the place of L. Clark at Precinct II
(Antelope) In Precinct 16 (Folsom)
Charles Jolly will take the place of j. P.
Cox. Supervisor Greer, in recommending
this change, explained that he hadfound
that he had Inadvertently appointed four
Democrats and two Republicans as officers
of this precinct, and he now wished to re-
place one of the extra Democrats with
Republican.
