copy the names of the voters In the
new districts.
Stationery was sent from the
county clerks Office to fifty-nine poll
ing places, affected by the redistrict-
ing shortly after noon today. In
twenty of these the district lines had
been changed, in thirty-three one or
more election officers had moved out
of the district according to the new
lines. and six are entirely new dis
tricts. #sIE
Many voters visited their old dis
tricts today and were told to register
elsewhere. 1t Is understood that the
voters will elect their own election
officers between now and the next
registration day.
Judge William P. Martin, presiding
in the Common Pleas Court today,
said that there was no reason WHY
any change should be made in the
ruling of the court that the election.
officers provided for the old districts
would act today. Further thar that
he refused to discuss the matter.
Question Settled by Courts.
..
Judge Harry V. Osborne also stated
hat the ruling of the court that the
redistricting could not be recognized
settled the question as far as the
courts were concerned. An opinion to
hat effect was filed several weeks
ago, when the matter first came be-
fore the court, and as yet nothing
has happened to change the views
of the Court of Common Pleas.
Watson Rodemann, secretary of the
county board of elections, was also
uncommunicative. All he would say
was hat the board had no power to
act and that the entire matter was
In the hands of the city clerk.
Asked what would happen in some
of the districts where polling places
and election officers had not been ar
ranged for, Mr.. Rodemann said he
did not know what the procedure
would be.
1t is probable that a test case will
be arranged in one of the affected
districts and that the entire matter
will be threshed out in the Supreme
Court before the next registration
day.
Two Boards in One District.
Many peculiar angles will arise 20
day IN the different election districts,
due to the redistricting made by the
city clerk. For instance. In the Sixth
district of the Second ward there will
be a double board of election officers
to act, owing to changes made in the
boundaries of the districts. -Four
men who formerly acted as officers
In another district are by the new
arrangement living in the Sixth dis
trict.
In the Twelfth district of the Third
ward the officials qualified to act
under the redistricting are all Dem
ocrats, the Republican members OF
the board having been shifted to an
| other district in the same ward by
the change in boundary lines.
The polls were opened at l O'Clock
and will remain open until 9 o'clock

DIOCESE SUES

COL. STEVENS
ON ECONOMY
tpecIal to the EVENING NEWh

Trenton, Sept. 6:-Colonel Edwin
A. Stevens, state road commissioner,
laid before the State Economy and
Efficiency Committee at it's meeting
today his views on the subject of
greater efficiency in the state govern
ment. Col. Stevens was unable to
be present in person and presented
his suggestions in a letter.
He approved Of the plan Of a sys-
tematic purchasing system and also
thought that the commission should
aim at the consolidation of all state
work under six or sever departments,
each department having a RESPONSE
BILE head. Col. Stevens, who is one
of the leading civil engineers of the
country, urged the creation Of a
State Engineering Department. He
showed that engineers are now regu-
larly employed by the road depart
ment, the Geological Survey, the In
land Waterway Commission. The
Public Utility Commission, the Pas
sale Sewerage Commission, the Wa
ter Supply Commission, the Riparian
Commission and probably other COM
missions of which he had no knowl-
edge, the state institutions and the
boards from time to time employ
engineers in addition. Colonel Stew
ems pointed out that there Is prac-
tically no coordination in all of this
work and he thought that greater
economy and efficiency could be OBJ
tanned through one central engineer
ing department. AS an illustration
he cited the good work done through
the attorney generals department as
a central legal department Of the
state government.
The commission discussed general
ly the data which has been gathered
by Howard B. Tindall and which, it
is understood, shows many ways in
which the state government can be
economical and made more efficient,
The commission decided to engage
an engineer to act with the state
architect in the preparation Of a
chart which shall summarize present
conditions as shown by the data and
present graphically the improve
ments needed and just where they
are needed. The engineer to be en-
gagged will be one who has had ex-
perience in this work in other states
There was a discussion also of meth
DDS of standardizing salaries and the
classification of clerks according to a
system recently inaugurated with
good effect In Chicago.
