83. If, upon proceeding to canvass the votes, it shall clearly
appear to the canvassing board for the city or county that in
any statement or tally sheet produced to them certain matters
are omitted which should have been inserted, or that any mis-
takes exist, they shall immediately issue a subpoena to the
judges and clerks who made said return, and said judges and
clerks shall forthwith attend and shall make such corrections
as the facts of the case require, but such changes shall not alter
any decision before duly made by them, but shall cause the
canvass to be correctly stated; and the said board of can-
vassers are authorized to adjourn from day to day for the pur-
pose of obtaining and receiving such corrected statements, such
adjournment not to extend beyond three days.
