what Court he was naturalized, and also in the column headed "Remarks"
where and when he was so previously registered. In the cage of a woman
who claims citizenship by marriage, the Board shall note the name of the
person to whom married and where and in what Court he was naturalized,
or where previously registered. Under the column headed "Remarks" they
shall note whether the applicant is male or female. (J) Under the column
"Court" the designation of the Court in which, if naturalized, such natu-
ralization was had. (K) Under the column "Qualified Voter, " the word
"Yes" if the fact shall appear or be determined by a majority of the
Board of Registry, or the word "No, " if such fact be not established to the
satisfaction of the majority of the Board. (L) Under the column "Date of
Application, " the month, day and year when the applicant presented him-
self. (N) After the answers of the applicant to the questions under the
heads of each and all of the above mentioned columns have been properly
entered by the officers in his presence in both registers, and not until then
he shall be asked to sign his name upon the same line under the column
"Signature, " in each of them, and shall sign his name, if he can do so.
If, however, he shall state his inability to do so, or decline to do so, the
officers shall make the entry "Cannot Write, " or "Declines, " as the case
may be, in the place for such signature. The Board of Registry shall be
entitled to receive from the officers having custody thereof the last preced-
ing registration books, for the purpose of comparison and assistance in
identification, and if anyone shall apply for registration who appeared in
such former registry as disqualified, his name shall be entered in the new
register, but he shall be marked "Disqualified, " unless such grounds of
disqualification shall have been removed. At the end of the day's registry
said officers shall compare the two registers so kept, and cause any errors
in either of them to be corrected, by the aid of the entries in the other, so
as to make the same agree where there is any difference between them.
Each of the said officers having the custody of any of said registers shall
then sign his name or initials immediately under the last name registered
under each letter in the book kept by him, so that no new names can be
added without discovery. The said Board of Registry shall keep, on
blanks to be provided for that purpose by the Board of Supervisors of
Elections, an alphabetical list of names, addresses and color of all persons
registered, and a separate list of all persons refused registration, and of
all persons whose names are erased from the registry. In the City of
Baltimore, at the end of each session they shall deliver these lists to the
police officers on duty at the registration office, and the list shall be de-
livered by the said officer to the Police Commissioner, and by the Police
Commissioner to the Board of Supervisors of Elections in the forenoon of
the day following the said sitting. Nothing in this Section 18 shall affect
the registration in the counties heretofore made under this Article.
