Between now and the first Monda,

At the annual meeting, Clerk George
Martin will present list OF names of
voters of the township. and the board
will act on the proposition to re-dis-
trict two of the precincts.
There are now twelve precincts in
the township, made up OF the several
locations. and it is proposed to add
two more precincts.
The Wolverine precinct, known as
No. Q, and the Laurium precinct,
known as No. IL, are both too bulky
for proper handling, it is commended
In each of these precincts there are a
much larger percentage of voters than
in any of the other ten precincts.
The idea is to divide the Wolverine
precinct into two precincts one to in

sarge, and the other precinct to in
clude Wolverine and South Kearsarge
A similar line of procedure likely will
be carried out in Precinct No. IL in
