THE BIG JOB WHICH THE ELECTION CoMMls-

The task in which the Board Of Elections IL en-
paped that of rearransng the election districts Of

rather the election law amended. 40) voters or
az nearly that number possible. are 10 be placed
in each district. To give the Commissioners proper
data for doing their work. the clerks OF the Board
are now engaged in counting the number OF citizens
registered on each block OF the city.
In laying out the boundaries OF the dis
tricts the Commissioners do not intend 10 divide
any blocks as such an arrangement would be awk
ward and confusing and on this account II will be
out of the question 10 put just 400 voters in each
district In the case Of district. however. q
division OF blocks has already been made. and this
will stand although the district In question is one

District of the Thirteenth Ward ana consists or
