and consent of the Council, shall, on or before the fifteenth day of June,

wards of the Town of Brunswick for the general registration of voters,

the Mayor shall act as registrar for all three wards, for supplemental
registration, to be thereafter held. The registrars who shall be appointed
for the general registration to be held in 1916 shall sit for three consecu-

and 28th, 1916, between the hours of eight A. M. and eight P. M., on
said days, for the purpose of enrolling and registering the qualified voters
for their respective wards, in such place or places as shall be designated
