Most Butte citizens who have looked into the matter understand this thoroughly and the chances are good it would have been adopted here before this if it had not been for the change in the registration law made by the last legislative assembly.

Registration here has been very apathetic and with only 7,000 voters registered in the whole county it would not be exactly fair to submit the question of commission form of government at this time.
