District option statute inconsistent with redistricting act, Boston
Legal opinion from Bartlett and Anderson concludes the district option statute of 1902 is inconsistent with the state redistricting act. It holds that Section 5 repeals only conflicting laws, while Sections 161 to 165 of Chapter 11 are not repealed but opposed by the new district rules. The firm warns that redistricting would render parts of the district option law inoperative, affecting ward and precinct divisions.
