  23 special wards - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 23 special wards (特別区 tokubetsuku) are self-governing, special municipalities in the central and most populous part of Tokyo, Japan.
To finance the joint public services provided to the 23 wards, the metropolitan government levies some of the taxes that would normally be levied by city governments, and also makes transfer payments to wards that cannot finance their own local administration.
The total population of the 23 special wards is 8.34 million (as of Sept. 1, 2003), about two-thirds of the population of Tokyo and a quarter of the population of the Greater Tokyo Area.

 Ward 6 Democrats challenge special vote - The Washington Times: Metropolitan   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
Members of the Democratic Party in Ward 6 say a special election tonight to pick a new member of the D.C. Democratic State Committee is disenfranchising residents, and they have filed a challenge to postpone the election.

Ward will use the airstrip for personal use and as a means of commuting to and from other local airfields.
