| 1t is believed that nearly all of the
voters qualified to participate in the
4 primaries turned out in each ward,
with the exception of the Sixth, where
konly 95 OF the l35 voted. The largest
number of votes for any one ward was
/ polled in the Tenth, the vote running
from 304 to 300. The total number of
persons qualified to vote at the pri-
maries last fall in that ward was 49S,
| that number being registered in
August There have been a number of
transfers from other wards since that
time, which, it is said, has resulted in
| a gain, more people entering than
moving from the ward.
In a number of wards people applied
to vote who were not registered last
August, but, as far as is known, no
such votes were received. Some did
not like the idea of being rejected and
there were disputes at several polling
places, but no serious alterations were
reported.
