The Frankfort roundabout., 1893-12-16
A NEW DIVISION.
The Voting Precincts as Rear
ranged by the County
Judge.


To tie Noteyy Of FranklM coHnty:
The first arrangement OF voting
precincts under the new election
law was necessarily experimental;
and although made. after mature
consultation with the magisterial
district commissioners. regret to
say it has not proven entirely sat
isfactory.
The law requires that there
shall be as nearly as practicable
not less than three hundred nor
more than three hundred and
fifty voters in precinct, and that
in making said precincts no magis-
terial district line shall be crossed.
In the arrangement made inn
mediately after the law went into
effects, absolute conformance to
its provisions WAS undertaken and
the consequence has been a fall
ing off in the voting strength of
our county. owing to the great
distance some voters were required
to travel.
At the recent November cleo
ton it was disclosed that in the
Market house and Gas-house pre-
Cincts there were two many voters,
and that change in said precincts
was necessary. In other precincts
changes seem desirable also. 1t
gives me pleasure, therefore, to |
submit the following arrangement,
with the hope that it may prove
reasonably satisfactory.
Respectfully,
