The committee will make it's report tC
council probably a a called meeting
The report will be submitted in the form
OF an ordinance, which will doubtless be
passed.
The council will have some difficulty in
securing twenty polling places on Bull
street. 1t is very probable that booths
will be erected in the squares, and in the
park, and park extension for the majority
Of the voting places.
from the appearance of the districts as
named above, the committee must have
slmp!lied its work by dividing
the city's map into equal sections
1t IS likely that some of the districts will
show much greater voting population
than others and it is not at all ihprob-
able, according to estimates, that some of
them will exceed the maximum limit,
which is fixed by law at 300 voters to the
district
After the city has passed an ordinance
hXing the districts and the polling places,
tne board of commissioners, consisting
OF Judge Falligant, of the superior court,
Judge MacDonell, of the city court and
Judge Ferrill of the ordinary's court
VII appoint two managers for each dis
lrlct TO conduct the registration and the
election. The law requires that the two
managers in each district shall be of diff
1erent parties or factions. What parties
or factions will be considered by the
BOARD IN their appointments win prove an
INTEREST," 11laefiop
