pal election. There were present
Messrs. Aug. II. Weidebusch, Cecil A.

City Solicitor I. S. Riley. There being
no representative from the Third ward,
Mr.. w. T. English prepared list OF the
voting precincts. Mr.. Zoeckler, mem
Der from the First ward, was on the
Church jury, and therefore unable to be
present.
The recent election was informally
discussed, the general opinion being
toward a smaller number Of voting
places, and a consequent change in the
precinct boundary lines adopted by the
Board of County Commissioners. The
City Solicitor stated that the boundary
lines would not necessarily form part
of the new election ordinance, but the
number and place Of each voting place
must be mentioned under the law.
Under the apportionment OF the Board
of Commissioners, 43 voting precincts
were provided for in the city proper
