WORK COMPLETE
City District Boards Wind Up
Enrolment; County
Unfinished

Harrisburg's three district draft
registration boards completed their
work late to-day with the enrolment
of several men who were not in the
city on June 8. Duplicate cards have
been made out, typewriter alpha
betical lists of wards and precincts
completed and the standardization
sheets filled.
In the county duplicates must be
made of about 1000 cards before
the alphabetical lists by districts can
be started. Only fifteen registrars
in the county have asked pay and
none in the city. The total cost of
the work for the 125 districts in the
city and county probably will not
reach 500.

duplicate cards for the county dis
