depending upon the way you district.
For example, there are now in Kent County,
or there are estimated to be in Kent County in 1970, 17,900.
One-fifth of the average population in that district would
be about 21,000 people, so that in all likelihood the
bulk of the Kent County, the bulk of the House district
would be in Kent County.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Chabot.
DELEGATE CHABOT: What would be the range of
populations in House districts, assuming that you
had the maximum number of house districts permissible
under your proposal, if we had single member districts?
DELEGATE GILCHRIST: If we had single member
districts -- I have not attempted to single-member the
district for house purposes, because this is obviously
impossible on a state map and without census tract figures,
but you would have an average figure of roughly 22,000, or
roughly 27,000 people in each district.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Chabot.
DELEGATE CHABOT: But you indicated Kent County
was expected to have approximately 17,000 to 18,000 people. |
