CITY AUDITOR AGAIN CALLS
ATTENTION TO PLAIN PRO.

son that The petition was not BIZ
Epafed n thc manner demanded by
the municipal LAW covering tie mat.
Ter
Ihe law states clearly Just how
such petitions shall be prepared.
There shall not be more than 2O
names On each sheet Each signer
shall give his name, address, incIud
ing street and number, and shall givc
bis voting precinct Other minor De.
tails are called FOR. Iii Tie petition

were NOT al given; for example, none

At al Il was also not stated that
the signcrs were residents of this
city and state While lii may be
true that these provisions are direc.
tory and not mandatory, and might
be 20 held BY the courts, nevertheless
i seems 70 be only inviting trouble III
not living up 10 the plain provisions
Of the law
After consultation with Tie city al
torney yesterday, Judge Anderson
made Up his mind that Il would not
be safe 70 proceed with the publica-
tion of the petition al filed with |
him The city auditor Il probably
justified in refusing to 40 ahead with
the publication oi a petition that ap.
pears On It's face 10 bc faulty espec.
ially when Il is remembered that the
law requires that a printed copy Of |
each and every petition must be sent
BY mail 20 every eiector IN the city. |
The mere publication of one of tie
petitions, with all the names and dc.
tailed addresses, and the cost of mail
ing, will probably cost from 500 u
$500, and therefore Il would appear
as i the auditor should take care ii
seeing that the petitions iled with
him are properly made ont. Other
wise their faulty construction would
probably only invite litigation.
The city will have some pretty big
bills to pay BY reason III the peti.

that membership as large as is de,
