VOTE ON CONSOLIDATION.

Grant Township, Story County, May
Have Two Consolidated Schools.
Special to Times Republican.
Nevada, April S.-There il now a
move on foot looking to the CONSOLE
dation Of the schools of Grant town
ship into two consolidated districts, one
comprising the most of the south half
of the township to be located at Ship
ley and the north half probably to be
located at the site Of the present dis
trict No. >, on Lincoln Highway,
known as the Mills school.
Special elections have been called
to vote on the proposition. that for the
north half. to be known as the North
Grant Consolidated district. to be held
at that school house on April l9, and
the south one to be known as South
Grant Consolidated, TO be held at the
office Of the Shipiey Grain Company.
Miss Wakefield has been giving a
great deal of her time to matters OF
consolidation this spring and has
number of other propositions on hand.
For some time it was hoped that the
entire Grant township territory might
be consolidated into one district but
the people of the north half consid-
cred il too far for a Capitalization at
Shipley. while the people in the south
half objected to going farther north
for q site Hence the dividing OF the
territory was deemed advisable.

Cedar Rapids. April SIT is expect
ed that the counting Of the vote at the
June primaries this year will take at
least a week in some Of the precincts
in this city, and the same conditions
will prevail elsewhere in Iowa.
The precincts are very large and
the ballot viii be very long Besides,
there is the additional work Of count
ing the vote on the suffrage amend
ment.
A discussion has been started among
the men who are usually drawn upon
to serve as election Judges and clerks.
Many OF them are in favor of closing
the days work as soon as the polls
close and leaving a policeman on
guard for the night. They would then
be able to get their nights sleep and
beginning work fresh in the morning
and SO on. day after day, until all the
ballots have been counted. II will be
utterly impossible for any set of men
in any of the precincts to stay awake
long enough TO count all the ballots at
one time. And there is no hurry any
way, with the possible exception of
the interest in the suffrage amend
ment- Nothing else is of much i'm
portance, Why should the election Of
1Cials wear themselves out in rush
ing the counting? Better go slow and
have ii accurate.
The ruling has been made that those
who desire to vote at the June pri
mary WIZ need to be registered. This
does not mean new registration. but
only the registration of new voters.
like the registration prior to the city
election. After the primary the city
council viii divide the city into not
fewer than sixteen precincts. so that
the vote next fall may be counted
much more rapidly.
This re-disrricting OF the city viii
he done Immediately after the primary
so that there shall be ample time for
a complete new registration, which is
required by The, law once every four
years-just preceding the presidential
election. =
