Frank SPARKS, the Lansing CORES.
pendent of the Grand Rapids Herald,
puts Shiawassee county in the list of
counties entitled to two representatives
in the state legislature. The basis oil
representation is 80 102 inhabitants and
this county has 5,144 above that mum
Der. 1t is, however, not probable that
an additional representative will be
given this county by the new re.appor'
tionment as it is almost impossible to
join in a single district two or more OF
the smaller counties without greatly ex.
ceeding the basis of representation.
