"Tho other instance was in Devol.
where some of tho citizens had com-
plained to the bureau that tho count
has been padded. They had more
people than they wanted and they
uliOd me to come and take some of
them off tho rolK "
'The pe.vol peopio said that ac-
cording to the count they "would bo
placed as a city of the first class
and they didn't want. it. I worked
bard but I couldn't find anybody
in Devol to say that he was not a
citizen of that town so I had to
recommend that the count stand as
taken."
