The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-09-15


 committees, showing the proposed changes, are as follows: MT. Robert A. Cairns, l., Chairman, Redistricting Committee. Your commitete from the First Ward would recommend the setting up of six voting districts in the first ward instead of the present three. These would represent voting population of approximately as follows: . =. s,i.t. r.a4 District. 1.1 :. .l,5O0
 District. 1-2 .;.....,.....,.. l,500
 District ,l-3 .,........... .1,40O : District l-4 ..........,...:1 ,4VO
 District l-5 ............... l,25O
 District ;1-6 ...........,.-. 300 :. The last district is in the. section cast of the high ridge west of Vol colt street, and covers Wolcott street, the Bouley- Manor develop ment, and the Mill Plain section ,of the first ward. This is the fastest growing section of Waterbury to- day. and if present growth cony tinues. it will have over thousand voters within few years. l. is impossible for the voters in this section to reach voting place in any other district without trav- cling a mile or more becuse no streets cross the high ridge. This section is also cut in half by the dividing line of the 18th and 18th senatorial districts.
 The first ward now uses nine voting machines and eighteen ma chine attendants. The new set-up would require eleven machines and twenty-two attendants, or an tl- crease of two machines, and four attendants. It would also require the following additional personnel: 3 moderators, 3 assistant registrars and 6 checkers at an added annual cost of about $200.00, including rent of polling places and meals for the additional help.
