The Supreme Court has held, however, in a case where the judges and clerks learned on election day that the polling place designated was not avail- able and they held the election in a building fifty to one hundred feet away from and on the same street from the place originally designated, that in the absence of fraud or improper motive being proven the election was valid. In the Rules and Regulations compiled by the election commissioners, the following instruction is given: "The Dolling place must remain where it has been officially located by th'enTOard of Election Commissioners When this is absolutely impossible it must then be moved to the nearest possible location within the Precinct. Post notices of any change." With respect to locations for polling places, the statute provides that: "The said polling places shall in all cases be upon the ground floor in the front room, the entrance to which is in a highway or public street which is at least forty feet wide and is as near the center of the voting population of the district or precinct as is possiblexxxxx;and in -no case shall anelection be held in any room used or occupied as a saloon, dram shop, bowling alley or as a place of resort for idlers and disreputable persons, billiard hall or in any room connected therewith by doors or hallways."
