BROOKSIDE BROADCAST
BY JANICE POLLOCK
AND MANDY MILLER
On Thursday, March 1,
Kindergarten Registration is
being held at Brookside
School from 9.00 to 2.30 p.m.
It is hoped that there will be
a large turnout. .
Reeve would correct.
• from page 8
He said any incorrect
information given the
enumerators would be
keypunched and no
questions asked. He
poi-nted out there is no
way there is time to
check on every person in
the counties adding that
any mistakes hopefully
will be cleared up after
the election.
"The keypunch
operator depends on the
enumerator for correct
information," said
Jenkins. "Two years ago
we had a dog on the
voters' list," he quipped.
He said there are
several reason' mistakes
occur. Some people
simply aren't aware of
their rights, some"
misunderstand questions
the enumerator asks and
some are errors made by
assessment office staff.
But he stressed that it
was more important to
get a•person 'on the
voters' list under in-
correct information than
to leave them off. He told
council his experience
has been that it is far
better -to have a person on
the list three times than
not at all. "There is a
greater hue and cry when
people are missed than
when they're on and
there's a mistake," said
Jenkins.
The assessment officer
told council his staff was
using -.records from the
last voters' list to im-
prove on the next one
adding that hopefully
there will be very few
•
•
problems like the ones
Elston referred to. He
said the computer that
prints out the voters' lists
was being programmed
with more information
than ever before so that
duplications will be
eliminated. He said
people that own several
pieces of property in one
municipality appear on
the voters' list for every
property owned. Under
the new system they will
only appear once, under
the property they reside
on. He added that birth
dates, which are now
included in computer
instructions, should
prevent fathers from
appearing tyvice on
voters' lists when sons
with the same name don't
appear at al,l.
The weekly story hour for
