VOTING LIST NUMBERS 10000
Saturday Is Inst Day for Payment of
Poll Taxes,

The paid poll tax list OF Richmond
now exceeds 10000 Results accom-
plished by the campaign teams OF tho
Registration Association of Richmond
are apparent at the Office OF City Treas
urer James q. Pace. An average OF
$50 additions day to the list Is ex-
pected this week. and IT Is believed
that hundreds who expect to qualify
are putting 1t off until the eleventh
hour. The last day for qualifying to
vote In the primary and general cleo
lions this year Is Saturday.
Those who call on the Treasurer now
and qualify will avoid the inconven-
fence and discomfort of waiting in line
for their poll tax receipts. The rush
to pay poll taxes and the consequent
swapping OF the corps Of assistants as
signed to the poll-taN desk during the
last few days Is inevitable. President
Darlington and the members OF the
executive committee OF the Registra-
tion Association are doing all in their
power to persuade the unregistered
voters to get in line early
