II. l.. Carter chairmanl, Gum, Grimes, ana
Ferguson.
Alter general discussion Il was suggested by
Mr.. Ferguson that II division was made it

committee. and was not authorized by the reso-
luton creating il.
made next May Just prior 20 the city election
would be good time.
Mr. Carter IN speoklnC Of the proposed change
said that thcre r. no doubt that the ward IA pO-
litlcally strong enough TO be divided, having
about $500 registered voters out OF the HOOO IN
the city.
Mr.. Gum thought Cary street would be a good
dividing line.
MIR. Carter stated, In order 20 give an idea OF
the density Of tho population of that portion OF
the city, that the Fourth precinct OF the Ward
which II only three blocks frOm Belyldere 70
Cherry In width and about six Qrom Main
10 tho river in length had a registered vote OF

would he a better dividing line.

OF the ward prepared showing the number of
houses and voters and the value OF property III
the respective portions
Mr.. dunn expressed the hope that his portion
OF the ward would not be deprived OF It's present
name.
had come when the names Of the wards should
be dropped and numbers substituted
There might be some little sentiment against
IT, but as a whole ne believed the citizens would
