New Assembly Apportionment.

According to the bill reported by
the Joint Special Committee on APP
portionment, of which Senator Rior-
dan is chairman, the Ninth Congress
ional District will gain two members
of the Assembly-one in Marinette
county, and another by re-arrange-
ment of the counties of Price, Taylor,
Iron, Villas, ONEIDA and Lincoln.
If this bill becomes law, the fol-
lowing groups of counties will each
constitute an assembly district:
Forest, Florence, Langlade.
Villas, Oneida, Iron.
Price, Taylor.
The counties of Ashland and Lin
coin will each constitute an assembly
district. Besides the gain of two AS
sembly districts in the Ninth Con-
gressional District, the county OF Mil
waukee was increased from Is to 10
districts. The losses occur in the
counties of Portage, Walworth and
Sheboygan, each county loosing one
Assembly district.
The bill as reported, will doubtless
pass, as it has been endorsed by the
unanimous vote of the Joint Com
mittee of thirty.
