a. J. Turner Presents a { chedule
that Undoubtedly will be
AdOpted.

Madison, Wis, Dec. 0.-lSpeClal. +
The legislative apportionment committee
will convene tonight to receive Clerk
Turner's revised schedule for an ap-
portionmont of the state into Assembly
and Senate districts, made in accordance
with the view of a majority of the COM
mittee that Assembly districts should be
constructed first without regard to Sen
ate districts, instead of by equalfzing
representation between the two, which
was Mr.. Turner's idea. The committee
had secured legal advice from ex-senator
Spooner that the Independent plan was
the correct one, and IN accordance with
the request of the committee Mr. Spoon
er will submit written opinion sustain
ing this view when the committee meets
tonight.
1t was expected that the committee
would meet this afternoon, but there was
no quorum. A sufficient number OF
members will, however, be here before
evening.
Turner's new apportionment of As
sembly districts gives Dane county but
three members instead of four, and gives
Chippewa county two instead of one.

ton made by Col. L. J. Rusk before the
committee. The new list Of senatorial

Under the schedule no senatorial dis
trict has a population exceeding the unit
5S.724 by one-sixth, and but one district
which falls one-fifth below the unit.
The number of senatorial districts have
been changed so that each "holdover'
senator will retain the number Of the
district in which he was elected.
Besides the change in Dane and Chip
pewa counties, a change is made IN AS
sembIy districts by adding Burnett coun-
burn and Sawyer counties and making
district of Burnett and Polk counties,
with population of 2z,UUJ, instead OF
making Polk one district with a popula
ton of 16,117, and putting the other
four counties together, with population
of &c, 494.
The only other changes made in Assem-
bly, districts are in transposing the towns
of Ashford and Friendship in Fond du
Lac county, transposing towns of Schles-
wig and Cato in Manitowoc county and
in Waupaca county.
