Those who are in doubt as to what pre-
cinct they reside in can obtain the infor-
nation by calling at the office Of the clerk
of council and securing one of the printed
slips prepared by Clerk Rebarer The or
dinance dividing the city into election dis
tricts or precincts is printed on one side
of the slip and the ordinance appointing
the place of registration in each district
is printed on the other side.
The registrars met in the long room of
the city exchange at $50 O'Clock yesterday
afternoon and received from Mr.. Re
barer the registration books after being
sworn to produce them at the places of
registration this morning with the seals
unbroken.
Every one of the forty registrars was
present, with the exception of E. r. Nc
AVoy, who was appointed for the Fifth
district. McAvoy's resignation had been
forwarded to the commissioners. it was
said, but probably had not been received
up to last night. He was appointed as
Duncan man, and the appointment of F.
ID. Carney in his place win be requested
to-day.
Mr.. Rebarer stated to the registrars that
he was unable TO give them any instruc-
lions as to the conduct Of the registration
as no certified copy of the amended law
had been received. He had telegraphed
for it, he said, and expected to receive a
copy of the law to-day. The registrars ex-
pected to receive their instructions as to
the conduct of the registration from the
clerk of council and his inability to do so
for the reason stated, leaves them in a
quandary. Most of the registrars have
read the amendments as they were pub
lshed in the newspapers and have gem
eral idea as to what is required of an ap-
plicant to register but their ideas are
confused on many points and it is likely
that numerous bitches will occur during
the progress of the registration to-day.
The registrars asked Mr.. Rebarer for the
pens, ink, and sealing wax and paper for
keeping the separate list of voters names,
He Informed them that he had no instruc-
tons under the law to furnish such &C
cessories, but he had no doubt that the
city would reimburse them for any ex-
pense incurred by them on this account.
All the pens in the council room were
'swiped" by the registrars as a result of
this announcement.
The registrars for Mr.. Myers met al the
headquarters of the latter and most of
the Duncan registrars met at the Office
of Justice Samuels Reynolds last night
for the purpose of discussing to-day S
work
In the Firth precinct Mr.. G. W. Allen
was instructed by the clerk when he de-
livered the registration book to him that
he could not open it until the appearance
of the registrar for the other side. The
registration place for the Fifth precinct
is at Wakefeld's store on Bull street
Registration will be delayed at this point
until the vacancy caused by the resigna-
ton of Mr.. McAvoy can be filled, which
will probably be not later than 8 o'clock
There may be a hitch in the opening OF
the registration in the Tenth and Eleventh
precincts this morning. The places OF
two Greek fruit dealers, c. Gallo and n
Georges, have been announced as the
places of registration in these districts but
it was reported last night that the proprie.
tors had declared that they had not agreed
to this, and that they would not allow the
registration to be held in their places
This may cause some delay, if true.
Mr.. Rebarer received a telegram from
Senator Osborne last night in which the
latter said that a certified copy of the
amended bill as passed would be mailed to
Dir. Rebarer to-day. The amendments
the telegram said, are the same as those
published, except that the commission can
remove any registrar with or without
cause. At the request of Judge MacDonell
