REGISTRATION
The registration took place on
1Vlonday,. Tuesday and Wednesday.
Locally nearly three quarters of the
citizens were registered by Monday
might.
Next year is census- year and the
work will have to be done over again
to include those under sixteen. The
suggestion has been trade that if the
entire populace had been registered
this year considerable expense would
have been avoided next year. While
most of the worst was done by volun-
tary assistants. in counties like
Huron, where the registrar did not
donate his services, the expense for
this one item alone is over $500
added to the many other "costs of
registration.
