First Test for Preferential
Voting Plan in Jersey City

JERSEY CITY, April 29.-This city
will be the first large municipality of
the State of New Jersey to test the
Hennessy preferential voting plan, a
special election being made necessary
because of the resignation Monday
of one of her commissioners, James
J. Ferris, director of streets and pub
lie improvements The election of his
successor will be held on June 3.
The actual working of the prefer
entail plan with its elimination of
the primaries will be watched with
great interest In Jersey. As a mat
ter of fact, Irvington will have what
is to be the very first test of the
plan on May IL, designed to free
municipal elections of all party poll
tics, and May 10 Orange will have
an election under the same proce-
dure; but Jersey City will be the first
large city in the State where its sue
cess against local political machines
will be observed. For one thing, il
is expected to greatly reduce the cost
of this special election to Jersey City.
While its cost was estimated by one
city official at $50 600, it is said that,
making allowance for the simplifed
procedure. it ought not to entail
greater expenditure than $4,000.
