The actions were taken by
the Elections Board at a meet
ing Saturday morning, held In
the courthouse office of the
Veterans Service Officer.
Moore's Motion
The motion to break the pre
cinct up Into four was made by
Fred S. Moore and seconded by
Herman Dean, the Republican
member of the three-man
board. The new registration was
ordered on a motion made by
Mr. Moore and seconded by
Chairman J. Lee Barnard. Mr.
Moore moved that the Frank
11a voting place be moved to
the Agricultural Building, with
Mr. Dean seconding It. All ac
tions were unanimous.
4,400 Voters
In announcing the decision to
break up the Franklin precinct.
Chairman Barnard pointed out
that It contains approximately
4,400 voters. With that large
number, the counting of ballots
sometimes cannot be completed
until far into the night ? or
often the early morning of the
day after a general election.
Sometimes, too, voters have to
stand In line. An objection
often voiced to the courtroom
as a palling place is the long,
steep stairs, difficult for elder
ly people or persons who are
not in good health.
A Wise Move
The division of this precinct
would have required a new reg
istration in each of the four
new precincts, Mr. Barnard ex
plained; since that was neces
sary, and since It has been 15
years since there was a new
registration, the board felt it
would be wise to make it coun
ty-wide at this time.
The lines of the present big
Franklin precinct have been
substantially unchanged for
half a century or more, except
that, for a short time in the
early 1930's, it was spilt Into
two, with the people In the
southern area voting at the
Franklin school. After a single
election, Mr. Barnard said, the
two areas were reunited into
one precinct.
