Funeral services will be held at Towner's Chapel Friday at 2 League Of Women Voters Solve Leavenworth Problem By MARSHALL GARDINER The Leavenworth Times LEAVENWORTH, Oct. 23 Fi Leavenworth voters will enjoy new freedom at the polls. Mayor Ed Reilly and the city commissioners last night accepted a new set of city precinct books prepared by the League of Women Voters. The number of wards remain unchanged at six, but the 13 precincts were carved into 20, This marks the first major change in boundary lines since the wards and precincts were established in 1877 by city -ordinance.

A minor revision was made in 1918. But since then there always had been more pressing needs for the limited revenue raised on a tax base inadequate to meet dmands for expanding services. So as the grew and shifted some of the polling places become more and more especially about supper time on election days. Voters often were seen to turn away rather than to wait in- long lines to ballot. Changing administrations, party officials and editorial writers talked for years about the situation.

But always the old bugaboo about the budget stood in the way of any concrete solution to the problem. Always, that is, until one of Leavenworth's newest civic organizations took an interest in the matter. Then something was done. During the 18 months the league remained in a provisional status the housewives delved into such things as the city charter, who pays the garbage collector and why voters stay away from the polls. They found Kansas' law limits to 800 the number of registered voters allowed in any one precinct.

But in Leavenworth the registration passed the 1,200 mark in places at national elections. So the League emerged from a provisional status March 29, 1956, the first goal it set was to redistrict the precincts. Mrs. A. 'R.

Mueller, wife of a physician and first league presi dent, named Mrs. Thomas J. Brown, wife of the city attorney head the committee for the work. The committee spent a year in preliminary study and work. It olved poring over maps, search ng directories for names, of shifting boundary lines The plan, calling for 23 pre cir.cts, was presented April 3 to the city.

Cuts were made. The city officials "provisionally" adopted he plan as agreed upon with 20 precincts. The provision was that the worn en would do the rest of the work at no cost to the city, since there still was no money. This required copying names of more than voters from the old to the new books. The new ordinance passed April 24.

Books ordered from the printer arrived July 10. Mrs. Brown and her committee, along with others who could spare even an hour, began the copying July 15. The work was done in the mayor's air conditioned office. More than 400 women hours were devoted to this ast phase of the work.

It took 13 weeks. City officials estimate the league saved the city about the city didn't have and couldn't get.
