SUGGEST Division
OF THE ninth Ward
Civic Association Committee
Will Report Soon on
Feasibility of Plan
TALK BOND ISSUE
FOR NEW BRIDGE

Plans looking to the division of the
Ninth ward into two wards were TAX
en- at the meeting of the Ninth Ward
Civic Association last night in Han
over Presbyterian Church. While
very little was done in the matter a
motion was passed instructing the
president of the association, James
ID. Stroud, TO appoint a committee, TO
investigate the matter and TO report
back to the association at a meeting
to be held in July.
The matter was brought to the at
tention of the meeting by G. ID. Car
retson. Previous 10 his motion, the
association had been discussing the
size of the ward and the number OF
civic associations Il would support.
Mr.. Garretson said that I'm his opin-
ion the Ninth ward was too large and
ought to be divided. He said there
might be a great deal of opposition to
such a move, and that IL ought to be
made the subject for a special meet
ing OF the association. When asked
where the opposition would come
from. he replied that Il would come
from several sources.
Robert Adair said that the next
registration would show one-flfth of
the total voting population Of the city
TO be in the Ninth ward. He said the
ward was entitled to one fifth the
membership of City Council instead
OF one twelfth of It. Il was decided
10 have the committee look into the
matter, ascertain the feelings of the
citizens of the ward on the subject II
favorable action is taken, bill max
ing the division will be presented to
The next Legislature.
The association decided to ask the
Board of Education for the use of
public school No. 30 TO hold its meet
ings in. Robert Adair said that when
he was a member of the board the
use OF the schools rested with the
board. The reason for asking for
the school was because it was more
centrally located than Hanover
Church and the members think that
they will have-a larger section of the
ward TO draw from. The matter was
referred to the school committee with
instructions to act
