WARD BOUNDARIES WILL BE CHANGED Anticipating the receipt of the request of the county commission that the city commission will by ordinance change the boundaries of the First and Fifth municipal mu-nicipal wards to conform to the new election elec-tion maps being issued by the county. Assistant City Attorney W. H. Folland began yesterday the drafting of a new ordinance to embody such changes. Recently the county commission, at the request of voters and chairmen of political po-litical parties, made a realignment of the ward boundary lines, taking seven block3 from the First ward and adding them to the Fifth. After the maps had been ordered to show the new wards, it was brought to the attention of the county commission that the authority for such changes lies within the city commission, com-mission, and not the county. A t a recent re-cent meeting of the county commission it was decided to ask the city to officially offi-cially make the change to conform to the requests made to the county. It is understood un-derstood that the city commission will pass the ordinance.
