Every one who expects to vote at the fall
election must register on either Thursday,
October 10, Friday, October o. or on Sat-
urday, November 4. Registration booths will
be open in every precinct in the city from
a. m. to p. m. on the days mentioned.
The following places have been selected for
registration:
First ward-First precinct, C. e. Scarr's
drug store, Twenty-fourth and NJ streets,
Second precinct, Howard Meyers drug store,
Twenty fourth and streets; Third precinct
Rowley building, Twenty fourth street, be.
tween K and l..
Second Ward-First precinct, Hugh Ken
nedys building, Twenty fourth street be.
tween and o. Second precinct, drug store
Twenty first street, south of s. Third pre-
cinct, Crosby & Richs office, Albright.
Third Ward-First precinct, c. A. Evans
building, Twenty-eghth and r streets;
Second precinct, Mrs. Kilker's building, SOl9
@ street
Fourth Ward-Location to be secured.
The lack of available space in the Fourth
ward is causing considerable uneas ness on
the part of the city officials. There Is not
a vacant store, house or room in the Fourth
ward, and up to this time no arrangements
have been made for place to hold the
| meetings of the board of registration.
Councilman Ed johnson hopes to secure
some place today, but where 1t will be he
/ does not know. When this question of regis
| tration came UP some time ago Mr. johnson
suggested that on account of the scarcity
OF buildings for rent in the Fourth ward the
| city erect a voting booth. This idea seemed
! to meet with favor with members OF the
| council until an estimate of the cost OF
the building was made. builder reported
that a one-story structure 20x24 feet would
cost S275. AS this is 5000 more than the city
is willing to pay, 1t is hardly possible that
voting booth will be built.

! ago the population has increased a great
! deal and many who are entitled to register
