 The purpose of re-districting the city
 is to make it more easy for the handling of the increased number of voters. It
 was also brought up at the conference .stat 1t would be a good plan to change the voting hours from o'clock a. m. to I D. m. to a. m. and D. m., giving four hours extra time for the voting. It was thought that this might help to relieve the congestion in the district but then l there is the matter of caucuses to be con sidered.
 The ward system for Norwich seems to l be the only practical solution of the sit l nation and this opinion has been express 1 ed by many as being the most feasible 1 With the ward system it is thought that l better representation would be secured I than by the present system.
