Division of Districts.
The matter of the division Of the
present election districts was dis
cussed, and the plan as published in
The Journal recently was adopted
with a few changes. No changes
were made from the plan published of
the city division of election districts,
excepting in precinct No. Is.
J. Ed Williams appeared before the
mtsSioners and stated that the
two districts north of Gadsden street
in this precinct would contain a very
small number of voters, especially the
northwestern precinct, which would
lie west of Coyle and north of Gads-
den street In sTch precinct, he
said, there would not be enough vot-
ers from which to select clerks and
inspectors. The commissioners after
considering the matter decided to
make one district of the two. This
district, which is to be known as No.
% is in that section west of Spring
street and north of Gadsden street
District No 10 was divided, two dis
tricts being made of IL, with Pine
Barren and Beaver Dam creeks as the
dividing line.
Other Business.
The board convened shortly after
O'Clock, Chairman Merritt presiding,
and Commissioners Clopton, Davis,
Roberts and Steward present.
Several petitions for new roads and
for repair of old ones were read and
referred to the respective commission
ers.
