30B. Whenever any new general registration is held in any of the
counties or Baltimore City, it shall be the duty of the several Boards
of Registry to ascertain from every possible source the names of duly
registered voters of this State absent in the military or naval service
of the United States. The names of such persons shall be entered upon
the new registration books by the several Boards of Registry with the
same entries appearing upon the registration books as last prepared or

Board of Registry shall write the words ''Re-entered During Military
Service," with the date of such re-entry. The several Boards of Super-
visors of Elections shall furnish to the several Boards of Registry the
registration books as last prepared or revised for their precincts, wards
or election districts, for the purpose of making such re-entries, and such
registration hooks shall be returned to the Boards of Supervisors of
Elections with the new books after the new registration is completed.

Judges and Clerks, and to be sold, as before provided in case of gen-
eral registration. The provisions of this section shall not apply to Bal-
timore City.

the Supervisors of Elections of each county and in the City of Balti-

540 (as well as the act of 1916, chapter 546) ; hence chapter 540 is not codified.

more v. German-American Fire Insurance Co. (filed April 2, 1918), those inter-
ested would do well to examine the question for themselves.
