That, It was explained, was of particular importance since it is by way of the mouth that the polio virus enters the human system.

WhaJen said the final population figure which will be used as official for the next 10 years will be released from Washington abou Dec. 1. It will include those people other localities who gave Hutchinson as a legal address.

An estllmate by the census office here was that about 150 more names will be added for the final official population. The population Hutchlngon as shown by the 1940 census was 30,113. Hutchinson'g population in 1949 as shown by state enumeration was 31,814. In 1948, the population A'as given as 30,797. The preliminary final figure is a drop from the 33,557 figure released a week ago because of errors made in tabulation.

"The light turned yellow just as I entered the intersection," Heggy said. Heggy later told police he entered the intersection as light turned yellow and "then it turned red real quick." Plenert signed a com plaint "total "of charging Heggy with running a Of more than 400 cards received by the census bureau from persons in Hutchinson who did not believe they had been enumerated, 103 were found actually to be uncounted. The final figure contains this addition. For the preliminary final popu- alation, the total of transient residents of Hutchinson hotels was subtracted. With the revision in son's population, the total count in Reno county is still below 1940 census figures.

Rauh said he spoke as a private citizen in opposition to separate industrial districts. But he stayed away from the question of annexation. The attorney said that all proposals to establish industrial districts would make them quasi-municipal corporations, with the rights of a city. He scored the legislation o-n three main points: 1. The electorate would be based on the amount of property owned one acre would permit one vote.

The property owner would not necessarily be required to live in the district, in the state or even in the United States. But a resident of the district, who did own property, would have no vote. 2. The proposals would permit corporations, either foreign or domestic, to vote and districts. 3.

The powers granted the dis trtcts would cover a broad field, from police to the right of eminent domain. The districts in effect would be little cities, and in some instances could hem in a municipality. "Such legislation is no cure-all or solution to the question of Hutch- Inson's east Rauh concluded. "It sets up a little oligarchy over which the people would have no control.
