first floor, and each floor above that as the second, or such other floor as it
may be. In county precincts it shall only be necessary to give such general
description as may be sufficient for identification. (B) Under the column
"Name" the name of the applicant, writing the surname first, and full
given or Christian name after. (C) Under the column "Age", the age of
the applicant. (D) Under the column "Nativity" the State, Country, Em-

"Naturalized", the word "Yes" or "No" or "Native", as the facts may be.
(H) Under the column "Date of Naturalization", the date of naturaliza-
tion, if naturalized. No naturalization papers need be produced if majority
of the Board are satisfied that for three years next preceding the applicant
claiming to be naturalized has been a registered voter in this State, and
has actually voted on such previous registration; but they shall note his
answers to the questions, when and in what Court he was naturalized, and
also in the column headed "Remarks" where and when he was so previously
registered. In the case 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; provided, that the books to be used at any new general
registration in any city or county shall contain a column headed "Sex",
with the sub-heading "Male or Female", in which such fact shall be noted.
Such new books shall also contain a column headed "Occupation", in which
the occupation of the applicant shall be noted. (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 satis-
faction of the majority of the Board. (L) Under the column "Date of
Application", the month, day and year when the applicant presented
himself. (N) After the answers of the applicant to the questions under
the heads of each and all of the above mentioned columns have been prop-
erly 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 can do
so. If, however, he shall state his inability to do so, the officers shall make
the entry "Cannot Write" in the place for such signature, and shall
follow said entry by a brief notation of the applicant's height, color of
eyes, and any distinguishing physical marks. The Board of Registry
shall be entitled to receive from the officers having custody thereof the last
preceding 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 registry, 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
