latins to The debt limit.
The fourth proposed amendment
relates to the resident requirements

vides as follows:
Every qualified elector who shall.
have resided in the state ono year,
and in the county ninety days, and
in the precinct thirty days. mex:
preceding any election, shall be en-
titled to vote at such. election, pro-
vided, that where a qualified elector
moves from n precinct TO another
within the same county, he shall be
entitled to vote in the precinct from
which he moved, until he establishes

e moved. The effect of this il to
shorten the period of residence in the
county from six months to 80 DAYS,
and in the precinct from 80 days 10
so days, and also to permit the voter

til he has established a new resi-
dence.
The above proposed amendments,
II approved by a majority of the pei
sons voting thereon, will. become
