PAPER BALLOTS
FOR VOTERS AT
MAY PRIMARIES
To Need Three Times Present
Number of Voting Pre-
cinCts In County.

With the announcement by the
board Of commissioners that no
voting machines could be secured
for the coming election. the use Of
paper ballots IN Mishawaka and the
rural districts Of the county will
make II necessary for over three
ing precincts OF the county. IN the
opinion OF the committee now work
ing on the redlstricting OF the coun-
~ precincts.
Voting machines used over the
county in previous elections will be
used IN South Bend precincts. This
will leave none left for Mishawaka
and the rural districts, where the
paper ballots must be used.
Investigations by the commission
ers have failed TO find a firm manu-
featuring voting machines that will
guarantee delivery by Nov. &.
While many promise prompt atten-
ton I'VE got 20 know before hand. -
as one commissioner expressed the
situation.
Fifty-six Precincts.
Fifty-six precincts will be made
in South Bend, according TO the
committee now working on the re-
districting Of the county. While
this number has not been decided
upon as yet, such investigations as
the committee have made point to
about that number.
Increases in wards in South Bend
are: First ward. from five to II
precincts; Second ward. five 70
eight precincts; Third ward. three
TO four; Fourth ward, four to eight !;
Fifth ward. three 20 five; Sixth
ward, five TO eight; Seventh ward,
FIVE 20 u.
Present Need.
From three to four times the
present number OF precincts will
be needed in Mishawaka, where the
paper ballots will be used. There
are but eight precincts I'm Misha-
waka at the present time and in
creases in population alone would
have made more than twice that
number necessary for the coming
election. The use of paper ballots
where voting machines formerly ac-
complished the work will make a
still greater number Of voting di-
visions necessary for that city.
Very few changes were contem-
plated by the committee in the rural
districts until the problem of paper
ballots was brought up.
This will make more than dou-
BILE the present number Of pre-
Cincts necessary. Recommends
tions by the committee now working
on precinct boundary changes in
the county will take care Of the
county until voting machines can
be purchased. When such machines
are produced, another change in the
boundaries Will be necessary.

STATE DROPS IN STANDING

Maryland has shown the greatest
falling off in relative school standing
in the United States, according to the
report just issued by the department
of education of the Russell Sage
Foundation. New York. Maryland
stands thirty-seventh among 50 states
and territories.
Governor Ritchie's attention was
called to this and other features of
the report tending to show that Mary
land was far behind other States in
public school developement.
There is not much can say to that
at this time," said the Governor. l
am glad the report is coming out now,
when the new board is coming in and
the effort to improve our public
schools is beginning in earnest. have
every hope that the new State Board
of Education will make such a report
as that impossible in the next 10 years
1t has been appointed for that purpose
and l look to it to make good and I
am sure it will make good. That re-
port like that is possible even at this
time is nose unfortunate"
DR.. j. M. 7. Finney, who has been
re-appointed a member of the new
State Board of Education, declined to
comment upon the Sage report until
after the boards first meeting next
Wednesday.
