River, and south by Proctor's Creek.
The Board of Supervisors is informed and believes that there are approximately
200 qualified 'voters wiuain the proposed election district; that the votin§
population of the area is rapidly increasing due to the large number of con-
structed residences and that the present arr~mgement with respect to the location
of the Re~istrars and the voting places is inconvenient and unsatisfactory for the
citizens of said area and thereby not calculated to stimulate registration or
voting.
Wherefore, The Board of Supervisors requests that an aj~propriate order may be
entered establis~ling the new Bellwood election district as herein described~and
establish a new voting place therein, t~at appropriate directions may be given
with respect to the posting of such order and that certification of a copy there-
of to the County Electoral Board for the appointment of a Registrar.
