SHALL The voTNd MACHINE JOB BE RATrHNRDp

There are 1AS election precincts in New Jersey and to equip them all with
voting machines will cost s6Sz5oo. AS The number of districts in the State Is
constantly increasing with the increase of population, additional voting ma
chimes will be needed for their equipment 50 that the first outlay by the State
for machines will be upwards of a million dollars. All machinery wears nut Or
becomes disabled, or gets to be obsolete by reason of new devices n with
machine voting in New Jersey it won't be long before large appropriations will
be necessary for the renewal of worn-out or the purchase Of improved ma
chimes.
But the cost of maintenance, repairs. insurance n operation, which Is
borne by the election districts must be considered. This must be a heavy bur-
den on the taxpayers. With Newark fully equipped, al proposed by a legis-
latve bill prepared by the Wakelee co mmiuee, there will re 40 machines to
house. insure protect with wachmen, keep n order and transport to and from
the polls. Unless We provide two machines for each district to guard against
accident that would dkfranchse the whole disrht, a full set of rot-boxes
with the printed ballots must be furnis he'd. at a large expense in every cleo
ton.
1t is bad enough that the State should have been betrayed into a ex-
pendnure of 100000 for voting machines but shall the Legislature go ahead
and swell the loss to S6S1500 and impose heavier annual burdens o the
municipalities? The proposition to fully equip the municipalities in which the
machines are now used is a shallow enough trick. That object accomplished
another bill will follow IN a future Legislature to fatten the contractors job
by forcing all the other municipalities to take a full equipment. But some
curiosity has been aroused as ito the reasons for the official patronage of the
voting machine that has been so long and so strongly yin evidence

the $4,000 annually expended by the State for printing official reports "a be
