The majority of the business houses
are located in the second ward. and
being easily accessible to the city hall,
the second is ahead on registration,
while the fourth ward contains a large
proportion of the horny handed sons
of toll, who do not have SO many
opportunities for visiting the city hall
as the merchant and professional men,
But before the list is closed it is ex-
pected that the fourth will come close
to the 200 mark.
A close observer of the registration
for several years estimates that there
will not be over forty votes differ
ence between the highest and lowest
number of votes in the respective
wards.
