I
 The Central Council. at its meeting last night elected managers and clerks for the eight young places for the city primary on April |, and provided way whereby the City Registrars could correct any mistakes they may make in registering voters. The regis. tration of voters and the possibilities of errors in the registration occupied the larger part of the hours session of of the Central Council, which was held at the court house.
 Announcement was made by the Registrars that on each Saturday night the registration booth would be kept open until o'clock to give the opportunity of registering to those men whose daily work keeps them from registering during the daylight hours.

 Errors in Registration.
 Mir. Hannon called attention to the fact that some errors had been made in the registration of voters. Under the circumstances under which the Regis trars labored, 1t would be remarkable if mistakes were not made. He thought however, that the Council should take
 Axy rnf made by the Registrars. and to re- ouest the Mayor to request them to pc careful in the questioning of men who presented themselves to be registered.
 The question was one in which All the members of the Council appeared interested in, and a considerable als- cusaion accompanied its consideration MT. Sheehan offered a resolution. which he said would provide way for fha correction of any errors that might have been made in the past or which might be made in the future. The res olution requested the Registrars 10 carefully investigate the eligibility or any holder of a certihcate. which they had reason to suspect was issued to him through an error. If they found on investigation that the certificate had hean enormously issued they would re- quest it's return from the holder. It 2 practical, and also notify the managers
 
 holder resided that the certificate had been erroneously issued.
 The author of the resolution explain ed that under the resolution any can didate at the end of the day might no tify the Registrars that certificate was given to man who was not enti- Eled to 1t, and that the Registrars could. investigate the eligibility of the hold CT to the certificate. If 1t was found that he was not entitled to 1t. they could request it's return and whether he returned 1t or not, the Registrars could notify the managers that the man in question was not legally en- titled to vote. The resolution was discussed by Messrs. Elmore. Airing ton and Hannon, and finally adopted by the Council.
 MT. Browder called attention to the fact that in few instance2 men who lived on the street which divided ward had been registered as being yot- CTS in the ward in which, in fact, they did not live. He wanted the members of the Council to know that under a. previous ruling of the Council such voters could prove to the managers Of the ward that they really lived in that ward and cast their vote in the ward In which they lived, although their certi- ficate might bear the number of an other ward.
 A committee reported to the Coun- ell, resolutions expressing regret at the resignation of Colonel Charles P. Jones from the presidency of the Council, because of his necessary absence from the city. The resolutions bore tribute to the thorough knowledge possessed by Colonel Jones, of party and pri- mary law. of his great usefulness to the Council, his impartiality and his energetic devotion to his duty. The resolution expressed the hope that his absence from the city would only be temporary and that he would soon re- turn to take up the active career which had been such benefit to his com munity.
