the affair.
In a 1920 o'clock class this morn

Three members of the class of twenty
five students believed the papers JUS

PLAN TO ELIMINATE
ASSESSMENT EVILS.
Correction Of Defects in Present
Vote Enrolment System Is
Conference Topic
BURCH CALLS MEETING

Plans for correcting defects in the
system Of assessing voters were dis
cussed informally today at meeting
in PrOthonctary WnltOn's office, called
by Chairman Burch. Of Councils fl
nance committee.
There was a storm Of criticism Of the
present system last yrar when thousands
of voters particularly women electors,
were not enrolled on the division as
sessment books.
At he conference today were Mr..
Walton. Claude l.. Roth. ~hcriffs solici-
tor and George +. Holmes, county
commissioner.
Provided for in Constitution
An assessment of voters is required
by the state constitution and an amend
ment would be necessary in order to
abolish the Office Of assessor and to
arrange for some other method. 1t was
suggested to have the regular May as
sessment made and to have one regis
trar in each division act as an assessor
on registration dnys.
Under that proposed plan, voters
missed in the house to house canvass
could be assessed Mt the polling places
on registration day.
The waste of ballots caused bv the
present requirement of seventy five bal
lots to every fifty assessed voters also
was discussed Thousands Of ballots
had 70 bo thrown away last year be.
cause only registered oters were entitled
TO the sheets and many voters failed 70
register.
Would Keep Ballots One Year
It was also proposed to change from
two years TO one wear the time required
for keeping ballots after an election
The conferees said that either NOR"
storage space must be obtained or th"
time for keeping ballots must be re-
duced
Another conference will be held Janu'
Rry 20. The plans formulate Will be
submitted to Councils Legislative COM
