COMMISSIONERS IN
ATTEMPT TO REMAP
COUNTY PRECINCTS
Would Cut Number From 10
to 80 and Save Thousands
of Dollars in Election.

County commissioners are reshap-
ing the precinct map Of the county
TO reduce the number of precincts
from 115 to so.
The object Of this reduction is TO
provide each precinct with q voting
machine and the county now has so
automatic registerers of votes.
The precincts in South Bend are
being reduced from So to AZ under
the plan now proposed, cut from
20 to 13 in Mishawaka and the
cOUnty's share Topped off from IS
20 20.
New Boundaries.
Under the proposed plan the sixth
ward, South Bend. which now has
eight precincts VIII be reduced to
four, the second precinct from
eight to six, the seventh ward from
u to 10. and the third ward from
4 to @.
The establishment of new boun-
Diary lines for precincts and uniting
of two precincts into one are based
on the total vote cast at previous
elections. 1t is planned as nearly
as possible to have a voting machine
serve approximately 500 voters.
Thus in the sixth ward. where the
vote has been but 1000, four pre-
cincts will care for 500 voters in
each precinct.
To Combine Precincts.
Thus the ninth precinct Of the
first ward the largest from the vot-
f~,r g.,
be reduced in size and part OF it
thrown into the tenth Moreover a
part of the second precinct Of the
seventh is TO be thrown into the
third precinct thus equalizing the
precincts from the voting strength.
Each of these two precincts serve
more than 500 voters.
Recently the county council au-
thorized expenditure OF $4,000 for
purchase Of 90 new voting machines
and the renovation Of the "a old
ones already owned by the county
The reduction in the number of pre-
cincts from 116 to so Will make a
saving Of $3.50 on each precinct thus
eliminated, or about $4,000 ar each
county election The expense Of
conducting a precinct in the past for
a general election including meals
election board officers compensa-
ton. rental. fuel. meals and the like
has run between $500 and $500 per
precinct.
Use ew Machines.
Another feature OF the voting by
machine authorized this year is the
support that Will be given to the end
Of the ticket The machines aare
differently constructed 50 that the
voter must first vote a straight
ticket and then go back and split il
he 90 desires.
Heretofore the candidates at the
extreme end OF the row have had
about 20 percent Of the normal vote
for the heads OF the ticket This
condition came about because o.
carelessness Of voters in following
the levers down 20 the end. Now
the last names will receive votes un-
less the operator Of the machine
feels that he desires 10 scratch
them from lfis ballot
Elections returns Will also be IA
cilitated by the use OF the voting
machines. for the results Of pre-
cincts in outlying townships may be
ascertained very quickly after the
polls close.
