DIDN'T TAKE LONG
The ink was barely dry on
the Sunpaper last week before
those "trees" growing out of
the Opera House bricks were
removed. Wouldn't it be nice
if many of our problems and
complaints could be handled
that quickly and easily'.’
For instance, as 1 was writing
the above, Pete Parrott came
in with a pet peeve. Pete has
had the job for many years
of managing various primaries
and elections. His complaint is
that many people are not re
gistered to vote m the proper
precinct
According to the State elec
tion laws, a person must regis
ter to vote m tlie precinct m
which he lives The vote of a
person at a precinct m winch
he does not live could he dial
haiged and thrown out
Many persons give the w pme
voting precinct to the KegiMra
turn board merelv tor the sake
dt convenience For instance a
person working m Ward n and

just to be sure it isn't under
