Redistricting Bill Faces Senate Fight
Local interests oppose the proposed congressional redistricting bill discussed at a Chamber of Commerce committee meeting. State leaders in both chambers show split views with opponents arguing no changes until the 1910 federal census and warning of Senate opposition if the bill passes the House. The plan would move Lorain County into the 16th district with Wood, Seneca, Erie, Sandusky, Huron, Medina and Ottawa, totaling 576 817 in population.
