CHAPTER I. Counties. II. Senatorial Districts. IV. Judicial Districts. CHAPTER I. COUNTIES. SECTION 75. Counties. 75. The State is divided into counties; the names, Counties. boundaries, and territorial subdivisions thereof are as declared in Part IV of this Code. NOTE.-In New York and Massachusetts no attempt was made toward a revision of the boundaries of the counties, but they were to rest in then existing provisions of law. Because of the uncertainty and great number of the provisions relating thereto, the work wa most difficult to consolidate the different statutes upon the subject of county boundaries, and to give to each county such boundaries as could be readily traced. The result of this work is embodied in Part IV, Title I, Chap. I, of this Code. Senatorial CHAPTER II. SENATORIAL DISTRICTS. SECTION 78. Senatorial Districts. 79. First District. 80.

NOTE.-At the session of the Legislature which adopted the Codes, as contemplated by the Constitution (see State Const., Art. IV, Sec. 28), it was anticipated that the State would have been redistricted, and that when it was done the section defining the Senatorial Districts would take the place of this Chapter. The work of redistricting always assumes more or less the shape of a partisan question, and for that reason, it is supposed, the Legislature failed to redistrict the State. It may be here said that for the same reason the Code, as it now stands, being the last Act districting the State, will not remain permanent, nor can any one be permanent so long as the population is fluctuating. Changes must, of necessity, occur, as contemplated in the sec Assembly districts are For convenience, as tion of the State Const., supra. provided for in Sec. 230, post. well as for the reason that it pertains to many of the police regulations of the State Government, and will be referred to in other portions of this Code, the census of the various counties of the State of California, as estimated at the ninth Federal census for the year 1870, is here given, as follows: |
