A line drawn from East to

woold divide Blair Coanty
approximately into to equal parte.

ot Antia, Snyder, Tyrone,
Catherine, also portions of Logan
aod Frankstown township—that
all three of tbe Director ot tbe
poor sboald be in the southern
end of the County with no representative in tbe northern half?
Surely any fair-minded man or
woman would concede representation to tbe district mentioned.
From tbe standpoint of proper
administration and careful
economy, a director of the Ooooty
