editor, John Milton Earle, on the result
Of the vote: 1.-THE vote was not so full
as many expected A considerable num-
ber did not vote, on account of indeci-
sion. Had a preliminary meeting been
held and the subject fully discussed, we
think the vote and the majority would
have been very considerably increased
The selectmen will proceed Immediately
to divide the city into wards, and will
then call meetings for the choice Of ofii-
GERS Of the city government" All this
they proceeded to do. In the division
into wards, wards one and two included
the easterly side Of Main street from
Central street to Lincoln square and the
northeasterly section of the old town
beyond. Ward was southerly Of the
preceding. taking in Pine Meadows, now
