DEPARTMENT
ADDS FOUR DISTRICTS
Changes Made So That Dis
tricts Will IBe Easy to
Locate in Future

Four new election districts were Gre
ated and the method Of designating the
districts was changed at a meeting Of
the Department OF Elections last night.
Heretofore there were eighty five
election districts numbered consecu-
lively from one TO eighty-five and with
out a map or diagram II was difficult
to locate accurately any district
To overcome this. the districts IN
each ward are numbered from one up
ward. For instance. there will be the
first. second, third and fourth election
districts OF the First ward. There will
be the first. second. third districts, etc.
of the Second ward, and so on embrac-
ing every ward I'm the city. This will
be a great benefit when returns are to
be received.
Two additional districts we're created
IN the outlying and rapidly growing
section OF the Ninth ward, and two
new districts were made in the outlying
section Of the Eleventh ward which
also is expanding. This means eighty
nine districts all told in the city.

the most popular newspaper in Della

there is every prospect that the struggle
for first honors will be a strenuous one.
The contest is open to every lodge
