list said Board of Registry shall treat as persons suspected of not being
qualified voters all persons against whom a sworn complaint is filed by

a voter of..................ward, do solemnly swear that I believe

is untrue they need not note such name for erasure unless required
by a member of the Board. Said list shall be arranged under the fol-
lowing headings: "Disqualified Voters," under which shall be placed
the names of persons suspected to be disqualified under Sections 2 and
3 of Article 1 of the Constitution, or otherwise; "Deceased Voters,
under which shall be placed all who are known or supposed to be dead;
