Trouble Securing Men

his list late to-day. At late hour
yesterday he still had two districts to
hear from.
Several districts have more than two
applicants, and if all pass the examina-
tions the names of the officers will be
drawn from hat by Peter F. DAILY,
Judge Of the County Court. In case OF
failure Of all the applicants to pass,
officers will be appointed for these dis
tricts by Judge Daily. In this city
there are three applicants in the first
district Of the second ward, like
number Of the second district, and toc.
in the first districts Of the third and
fourth wards.
Jamesburg and Cranbury Act
Cranbury Township and the Borough
Of Jamesburg have re-districted their
election lines despite the fact that they
do not contain over four hundred vot
ers. At the last general election there
were three hundred and seventy-two
votes east for governor by the Swe
leading parties in Cranbury, while the
like vote In Jamesburg was only three
hundred and seven.
The Geran law states every election
district, in which over four hundred
Votes were cast at the last general
lelection. must be redistricted but not to
lcontain over three hundred and fifty
voters. The action of the Jamesburg
and Cranbury officials increases the
number Of districts in the county to
seventy. Each new district costs the
county $16s tbs four election officers
ireceiving SAP each Next November
There will be fifteen new districts te
lhear from. which will materially delay
the returns, an additional expense to
lMiddlesex county Of $500, making a
