3996 ARTICLE 17.

Each of said Supervisors shall be furnished by the Mayor and Common
Council with a well bound registration book which shall be kept by him,
and for which he shall be responsible. In such book there shall be a space
for the name of each person registering, his age, his color, his actual
place of residence in said town, his ward, his occupation, and the date of
registration, and a space where he shall sign his name, or where the
registration official shall sign his name for him if he be unable to write,
in which case the person registering shall make his mark. The Supervisors
acting as Registration Officials shall have the registration books at the
place and at the times designated as above set out for registration, and
shall swear each applicant for registration, and if upon examination
of such applicant they both agree that such applicant is a qualified voter
in accordance with the provisions of Section 761 hereof, they shall each
register his name; and all persons so registered shall be entitled to vote
at town elections so long as their names appear upon such registration
books.

The Supervisors of Election acting as Registration Officials on the first
of said registration days herein provided for, whenever an affidavit is
made before them by any registered voter of said town that any name
upon said books is not entitled to be thereon, shall note said name, and
shall by placing in the United States mail addressed to said voter at the
place of residence set out in said registration books with sufficient postage
prepaid, a notice that his name has been noted for striking off, and that
they will act thereon on the second day of registration, notify the party
whose name has been noted that they will act upon his right to remain
upon said books on said second day of registration. The said Supervisors
of Election sitting as Registration Officials may also on said first registra-
tion day take such action with regard to any name of their own motion.
On the second of said registration days, the said Supervisors of Election
sitting as Registration Officials shall pass upon all of the names noted as
above set out, and after hearing such evidence as may be presented before
them, shall determine whether such name shall remain upon said books,
or shall be stricken off, and in case they shall decide that any of such
names shall be stricken off, they shall draw a line in red ink through
such names on the registration books, and shall write in red ink at the
end of said line the words "stricken off" and the date and the party whose
name is thus stricken off shall not be entitled to vote in said town until
his name be replaced thereon as hereinafter provided.

Any person feeling aggrieved at the action of the Supervisors of Elec-
tion acting as Registration Officials in refusing to register him, or in
striking his name from the books, or in registering some other person, or
refusing to strike from the books the name of some other person, shall
have the right of appeal to the Circuit Court for Prince George's County
at any time within five days, exclusive of Sundays and legal holidays,
from the action of the Officials by which he is aggrieved, which appeal
shall be by way of petition for review addressed to said Court and naming
as defendants the Registration Officials and the party whose name the
