Question Of Ward Representation.
The recent enactment of a measure by
the general assembly to regulate the rep
resentation in city councils throughout the
state according to the population of wards
is of considerable interest here, as the
matter of the reapportionment of Alexan-
dria has been under discussion for some
time. A portion Of the act reads: Each
and every ward in a city shall be entitled
to equal representation as far as pract1-
cable in each branch of the council thereon
in proportion to the population of such
| ward" In Alexandria at present there are
four wards, having each two aldermen ana
four members of the common council. AS
these wards are widely different in pOpu-
lation the problem that confronts the city
is whether to change the wardEboundaries
or to provide for representation in pro-
portion to the population of each ward as
| they now exist 1t is stated that the former
will probably be the course followed. The
! matter will probably come up for dis
cussion at the next meeting of the city
council.
