Reacting to the latest census, which showed a substantial increase in population in the city’s Third Ward, the Colby Council last week initiated a procedure which will add another ward and two new aldermen to the city.
The latest census figure show that Colby’s Third Ward contains about twice as many people as Wards One and Two. State statutes require that municipalities if such population changes occur. The city will soon have four aldermanic districts, but the change will not involve any complicated reshifting of boundary lines. Instead, the Third Ward will simply be split in half, creating two ward that will be nearly equal in population to the remaining pair.
The First District will still consist of all that part of the City of Colby in Marathon County — that is, the area east of Hwy. 13. The Second District will remain as is: that area of the city west of Hwy. 13 and south of Spence Street.
The Third District will now be bound on the east by Hwy. 13 and on the south by Spence Street. From Hwy. 13 and Adams, the boundary will run west to Third Street, south to North Street, west to the city limits and south to Spence Street.
The new Fourth District will consist of all areas not included in Districts One, Two or Three — generally, the northwest corner of the city. Two new aldermen will join the council to represented the new Fourth Ward.
