STRUNG u vexed question relating to the
elections. The suit is brought as a test
case by Michael Clark against the Mayor

with the mode of holding elections under
the ballot reform law. The Court holds
that the expense of erecting booths shall
be borne equally by the county and city,
because they both use them. The county
shall pay half Of the expense OF making
the registry canvas, and each city and

other half The county shall pay the cost
Of revising the registry for the November
elections, each township shall pay for re-
