Changes in Election Laws Stir Republican Interest
Politicians show interest in two election bills signed by Higgins despite objections. One bill amends metropolitan elections law reducing deputy force from 600 to 400 with 100 permanent deputies. 50 receive 3000 yearly and 50 receive 1200. The other bill accelerates registration by one week and limits districts to 500 electors, a change fought by the Board of Elections over costs and district consolidation.
