CRIPPLE CREEK NOT
ABLE TO HOLD CITY
ELECTIONS rHts xrAp

Denver, Mar. Special to III,
Chieftin.-The city of Cripple Greek
cannot hold city election this spring
How many others cities are in the
same predicament is not known hut
all OF the cities of the second class
that have precinct boundaries for the
city separate from the precinct boun.
daries for the county in which the
county commissioners did not an.
point two sets Of registrars will find
themselves unable to hold city
election.
Two years ago the Booth registra-
tion bill provided that the county
commissioners should appoint regis
trars OF election In each precinct and
that these registrars should also be
the judges OF election.
The registrars must be appointed
thirty days before the election.
The city of Boulder has city pre-
cincts and county precincts both, the
county precincts being separate from
the city precincts.
The law did not provide for any
such condition as this.
This year the representatives from
Boulder secured the enactment of an
amendment of the law which gave the
county clerk the right to appoint the
registrars for the city precincts thirty
days before the election. This was
done in Boulder.
The other day Cripple Creek woke
up to the fact that the town had city
precincts different from the county
precincts and that no provision had
been made for the appointment OF reg
istrars in the city precincts. AS re-
suit they wrote the attorney general
and asked what to do. In an opinion
given today the attorney general holds
that as there Is not remaining thirty
days before the election, which time
must elapse after the registrars are
appointed, the city OF Cripple Creek
cannot hold an election this year 1t
Will therefore be necessary for the
old officers to hold over.
The same will be true OF every other
city in the state where the same CON
ditions prevail.
The above has caused more or less
apprehension as to its bearing on
