THENEW PRECINCTS
AT WHICH THE VOTES WILL BE CAST THIS
FALL.
The Subdivision Of the Districts Completed by
Clerk PsndletOn-The Boundaries
Within the City Limits

For the past four or five weeks Clerk
Henry Pendleton, of the Board Of Com
missioners, has been at work mapping
out the city districts into election pre-
cincts, under the new State law, from
data compiled by the enumerators ap
pointed by the Board. The task was
great one, as the returns Of the enumer'
| ators had to be sifted out by city blocks,
| the totals for each block marked on
maps of the various districts, and the
blocks so marked aggregated in punches
Of not more than $50 voters each, ar
ranged as compactly as possible, and
corresponding in their limits with
the district lines. A portion OF
the work embraced the max
ing of sketch maps OF each
city district, with the subdivisions into
election precincts clearly indicated.
This work has now been completed, and
as the results Of the Clerks labors are
not likely to be disturbed by the Board,
the REGISTER this morning outlines
each Of the forty-three city precincts in
brief, so that every voter can figure out
in which precinct Of his district he will
vote.
The voting places have not yet been
located, aud cannot be until it is def
nitely decided how many rooms will be
available throughout the city, and just
where they are. Portable voting places
will be purchased to make up
the deficiency, and then, and not until
then, will the Board be enabled to de-
signate where the ballots in the various
precients will be cast. This, however,
only applies to the city districts. There
will be no change In the country, vot-
ers depositing their ballots at the usual
places.
Following are the boundaries Of the
