THE CITY GERRYMANDER.

Two maps of the proposed new ward lines
for Jersey City were presented at yesterday
afternoons meeting of the Ward Line Com
miss toner's One Of them is the joint pro
ducti on of President h. Fl. Holmes and c..
w. Laws, the other is the work of Otto
Grouse. A great deal of discussion arose as
to the respective merits and demerits of the
maps, but nothing definite was arrived at.
At the next meeting, however, on August
%, the lines will be made public.
Referring to the maps presented, Commits
sioner Fielder said that at the last meeting it
was agreed that the republican and demo-
cratic members of the commission should
each present a map prepared according to
the party ideas. Both maps were produced,
and were exchanged SO that the republican
and democratic members can study each
others plalis.
1t evident that the map presented by the
republican members, he thinks, will be
selected Both sides have endeavored to ar
range the wards according to equal popula--
tion, and have been prepared in far and
equitable manner.
The idea dominating both parties has been
to arrange the wards in the faireSt manner
without favoring any party.
