APPENDIX.
SCHEME.
AREA.
1. That the Parish of Islington should form one District Council area.
2. That such area be divided into 12 Wards, corresponding as
nearly as may be to the Parliamentary Polling Districts as they stood
at the end of November, 1891, with the exception of the Lower Holloway
Polling District, which should be divided into two by a line running down
the centre of the Caledonian and Camden Roads.
QUALIFICATION AND ELECTION OF COUNCILLORS.
3. That the franchise for District Councils be the same as for the
County Council.
4. That the qualification for the office of District Councillor be beneficial
occupation and payment of rates in the District.
5. That the number of District Councillors for Islington be 108, i.e.,
9 for each Ward proposed to be constituted.
6. That Councillors hold office for three years, one-third of them
retiring annually, as in the case of Municipal Corporations.
7. That the annual elections be held in the month of March, so that
they may take place soon after a new register comes into force and that
newly elected Councillors may commence their duties at the commencement
of the financial year.
