the city Of Ilichmond for the speedy cor
rection of this injustice by the division of
Cay Ward into two equal parts, according
10 the voting population: that. in our
opinion. this may be best done by Il line
beginning at the present boundary OF
Cay Ward III the center Of Belvidere and
Main Streets and running through Mon
roe Park and along the center OF Floyd
Avenue, westwardly to the center of Lom-
hardy street: thence nortllwardly along
the center OF the said street to the center
OF Park Avenue; thence westWardly along
the center of the said avenue to the cor
porzlte limits. The 5wo wards thus made
would be about equal in population, ana
would each contain more voters than
