In the apportionment adopted there are forty-eight districts, each with a population above the normal and fifty-two each with population below normal. The forty-eight above normal have a total population of 1,143,807, a total of 150,607 above normal. Their average population is 23,820 17-48 each, or an average of 3,139 each above normal. The other fifty-two districts have a total of 925,235 population. Their average population per district is 17,793, an average of 2,807 each below normal. Under this apportionment forty-eight members of the assembly will represent 55 28-100 per cent. of the people and fifty-two members will represent 44 72-100 per cent. of the people of the state. The district with the highest excess above normal is that constituted by Portage county with an excess of 8,793.
