Sec. 6-3-5. Division into wards.
Every city shall have as many wards as one-half the total number of alderpersons
to which the city is entitled. The city council, from time to time
shall divide the city into that number of wards. In the formation of wards
the population of each ward as determined by the latest city, state or
national census shall be as nearly equal and the wards shall be of as
compact and contiguous territory, as practicable.
