For the purposes of the division a quota of electors shall be ascertained by dividing by seventy-two the total number of electors whose names appear upon the several electoral rolls of the state on January 1, 1911. In making the division, consideration shall be given by the commissioners to—(a) community or diversity of interest ; (b) means of communication ; (c) Physical features ; (d) the area of proposed districts which do not comprise any part of a city or town; and subject thereto the quota of electors shall be the basis for the division of the state into electoral districts, and the commis- sioners may adopt a margin of allowance to be used whenever necessary, but in no case shall such quota be departed from to a greater extent than one-fifth more or one-fifth less, On or before March 31, 1911, in each proposed electoral district maps shall be distributed showing the boundaries of the proposed district and the several contiguous districts, and the number of electors in the proposed. district and in the several contiguous districts.
