ONE MORE COUNCIL DISTRICT WANTED.

Albany, Jan. 19.-Assemhlyman Reddington, OF
the XXXINth Ncw-York District. Is preparing \
bill for the amendment Of the New-York charter,
which will provide for an additional council dis
trict OF the municipal assembly The charter fixes
the number at ten. and the purpose OF the bill IL
to change the designation Of boundary of the WITH
and With districts which include the
XXXIVth and XXXVth Assembly districts. The
objection TO the present boundary lies in the fact
that the NXXINth Assembly District is divided
into two municipal assembly districts. and that
the With Municipal Assembly District is in the
boroughs Of both Manhattan and The Bronx. and
this Mr.. KcddlngtOn considers nadvisable. The
bill Will compel the changing OF the other num-
bcrs Of districts after number five. II will be sub
rnitted to leaders in New-York City this week. and
II Is possible that instead OF increasing the mum
Der Of districts 1t may be made to change tho
boundaries OF the IVth and With districts so Az 10
obviate the supposed difficulty. II district
is created IT Will require the election OF three
members.
