The election will be held on November 3. October 19 is the deadline for the filing by candidates for office and in Price city there have not been any petitions of candidacy filed yet. The terms of the mayor and two councilmen are expiring this year. In this community these are the terms of Mayor A. D. Keller and Council-meErin Leonard and Jack Houston. Under the new laws adopted by the most recent session of the state legislature, every eligible person must be registered and must vote in the precinct of his residence. In other words, in Price for example, many businessmen reside in one precinct and are registered voters in the precinct in which their businesses are located. This year and hereafter, this will not be permitted and those who find themselves in this situation are urged to transfer their registration as early as possible. This is accomplished by obtaining a transfer from the registration agent of the precinct in which he has been voting and take it to the resgistration agent of the precinct in which he resides. It is a simple procedure and if not done may keep many from voting in the coming election.
