Petition to tha Court
A petition to divide the borough
of Bellwood into taa election districts was filed with Judge Marion
D. Patterson on Monday by District
Attorney Richard H.  Gilbert.
At thia presenlt time Bellwfood's
1600 voters must all crowd into
the seme polling place en election
day, the petition points out. It often results in many persons not being given the opportunity to vote,
the district  attorney reported.
Under the near- arrangement, if
approved by Judge Patterson, Bell'
wood would be divided into a north
and south district with the Pennsylvania Railroad main line as the di-j
viding point. The railroad practi-f
cally intersects tiie borough. ^T
Attached to ths petition Mindajf
bpss a resolution by the borough
council together with petitions aign-^
sd by residents of both sections of'
the borough, favoring the division.]
District Attorney Gilbert explained
that if the petition is acted upon
favorably by the court, the present
election officials will serve in thai

The    petition would not    create

north and south voting places. It
has been felt for a number of years-*
that the district at present is toe'
large and often when a heavy vote
has been polled it requires the pre-j

near her home in Pittsburgh, and as
she  was  aibout to cross  the  street
she   was  -struck  by   an   automobile
driven at a furious speed by a Negro. She    was knocked    down    and
striking    the harcb   surface of    the
street, received a number of painful
bruises and lacerations. She was at
once remTyved to a Pittsburgh hospital,  where ahe  received; treatment
aad   where she is   now   confined.
When she recovers sufficiently from

fatal injuries. The many friends of
\Mn.  Helsel  in  Bellwood trust she
will soon recover from her bruises
