(a) It shall be the duty of the respective boards of supervisors
to appoint and to provide for furnishing, heating, lighting and
cleaning a suitable place of registration and polling place in each
precinct of their county or city, which shall be as near the center
of the voting population of the precinct as practicable; provided,
however, that whenever all three supervisors of the said county or
city, as the case may be, shall file in their office a sworn statement
in writing that a suitable place cannot in their judgment be secured
in any precinct, a suitable place in an adjoining precinct may be
provided. A rental of [$35.00] $75.00 per diem is to be paid for the
use of each appointed privately owned registration and polling place
in Baltimore City. IN BALTIMORE CITY PUBLIC BUILDINGS
SHALL BE USED FOR REGISTRATION AND POLLING
PLACES TO THE GREATEST EXTENT FEASIBLE. FOR
RENTAL OF PRIVATELY OWNED REGISTRATION AND
POLLING PLACES IN BALTIMORE CITY THE BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS SHALL PAY AN AMOUNT AS DETERMINED
FROM TIME TO TIME IN THE ORDINANCE OF ESTIMATES,
PROVIDED THAT SUCH AMOUNT SHALL BE UNIFORM ON
A CITY-WIDE BASIS. In no case (except as to a building owned
and occupied by a bona fide volunteer fire company in Allegany
County) shall a registration or election be held in any building or
part of any building used or occupied as a saloon, poolroom, billiard
hall or bowling alley or communicating therewith by doors or hall-
ways.

Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That this Act shall take effect
June 1, 1967.
