Books VIII Not Open.
In the discussion which followed
Chairman Jones gave it as his opinion
that the city registration books would
not be opened in time for the city pri-
maries, but would open for the gener-
al election. He gave as the reasons
that the council had provided by ordi-
nance that city registration officer
should be named at the meeting the
second Wednesday in March. The law
then requires that the books be open
ed and that the names of those regis
tered be published for ten days, and
that the council shall then hold meet
ing at least seven days before the cleo
ton and receive the books. The re-
quirements do not give sufficient time
from the date of the selection bf reg
istration officer for the registration of
voters, and consequently the commit
tee in the call recommends that those
who have paid ten days before the
first primary their poll taxes for the
years 1905 and 1905
