<< Brandt here: Unfortunately, Tim's premise is faulty. The trusty
librarians at the downtown Minneapolis interim library confirmed my
hunch that in 1950 Minneapolis still had 26 council members (two for
each ward). The charter amendment that changed this to one per ward
wasn't passed until June 11, 1951 >>
Jon sez: The ratio holds. The tiimeline was just off by a couple of years.The
population flow to the suburbs didn't start in earnest until almost 1960 (
okay, I didn't research that, I could be off a couple years also).
