Proposed Change in Electing County Supervisors
A bill before the State Legislature proposes a new method for selecting county supervisors. County population divided by townships yields the representation ratio, with each township receiving at least one supervisor and one additional per ratio. Supervisors would be elected in 1873 with a drawing at the first session to determine term lengths, then successive elections to fill odd draws, creating a two year cycle with half the board chosen each year. The author notes consistency with the one term idea for presidents and urges similar provisions for state officers.
