Notice to Voters
to Register
The. law requires that every elector who desires
to vote at the annual city election to bo held in and
for the City of Medford on Tuesday, January 11th,
1916, must register, regardless of any other or for
mer regis! ration.
The registration board will, therefore, sit in the
council room at the city hall, corner Front and
Sixth streets, from one until seven o'clock p. in.
every day, except Sunday, for three days more, in
cluding today.
Every voter in each ward should make it a
point to'come early so as to avoid the usual rush
the last few days.
There is no other time or place to register. No
-witnesses arc required for this registration.
Do not bother the members of the board with
questions as to why this registration is necessary,
etc. The law requires it and the city officials have
no other alternative.
However, a proposed amendment to the city
charter to be voted on at the coming election will,
if carried, do away with this continual bothersome
registration.
