titions are first filed with the city
recorder, J. E. Stearns, who urges that
all petitions be received by him not
later than Sept. 22, so as to give
him time to present them to the
county clerk within the time limit.
Petitions may be . filed with Mr.
Stearns at any time up to and In
cluding Sept. 22.
The former law provided that can
