Whereas the City of Chicago is divided into wards, and every ward is followed by another, save the last; and

Now, therefore, the Next Ward is proclaimed: the ward next after the highest-numbered ward of the City as the City stands from time to time. It shall be governed by the Levee and seated at the Seat until further notice.
