town of Marysville.
The matter of making partial
payments on sewers hereafter
constructed was referred to the
finance committee.
The finance committee was
granted further time to report on
the bill of the electric light com
pany for $27.
This committee reported that
it had refused an offer of $800

Registration.
The total registration of voters
in Benton county up to Wednes
day morning was 76S. This is a
trifle more than one-third o:
what the total registration
should be. Two years ago the
total registration in Benton
county was x,o6c. When the
election returns came in' it -was
found that a good many who had
registered did not vote; - It is
thought that the registration this
year will slightly exceed 2,000.
If the law allowed the registra
tion of all new-comers a much
heavier vote would be registered
this year than ever before in the
history of the county. But ac
cording to law, the new arrivals
shall have been, when the
election. - . day. arrives, in - the
state for a period " of six
months," otherwise they will not
be entitled to' a vote. .As the
election will be held on the 2nd
of June, it will be seen that those
who arrived in the state later
than the 2nd of last December
cannot register as they will not
be entitled to vote at the elec
tion. Where it is found that a
man will be otherwise qualified
to vote on election day, the law
declares that he shall De regis
tered. - For instance, if it is
found that a vounor man will be
come of aee a few days before
election he may be registered
while he is yet a minor.
