HARRY W. NICE, GOVERNOR. 175

13. It shall be the duty of said boards of supervisors
to appoint the place of registration and also the polling place
in each precinct of their county or city and to cause the
same to be fitted up, warmed, lighted and cleaned. The
places for registration and polling shall in all cases be
upon the ground floor of a building, the entrance to which is
from the highway or from a public street at least forty feet
wide if in the City of Baltimore and at least twenty-five feet
wide if in the counties, in a room facing on said street or
highway and shall be as near the center of the voting popula-
tion of the precinct and as convenient to the greatest num-
ber of voters as is practicable, and in no case shall a registra-
tion or election be held in any building, or part of the build-
ing, used or occupied as a saloon, dram-shop, poolroom, billiard
hall or bowling alley, or communicating therewith by doors or
hallways. If no suitable place is found the supervisors shall
provide one. Provided, however, that, after the year 1940, no
places of registration shall be provided in the respective pre-
cincts of Baltimore City, but all the work of registration,
transfers, etc., shall be conducted in the office of the Board of
Supervisors of Elections of said City.

15. Said Boards of Supervisors shall give ten days' notice
of the time and place of registration, and of revision thereof,
and of elections in each precinct of such county or city, by
handbills set up in the most public places in such precinct,
and also in the counties, by advertisements in two newspapers
(one of which newspapers, if possible, shall be of opposite
political faith from that of the majority of said supervisors)
of general circulation therein, except in Howard County,
where the Supervisors of Elections may publish in one news-
paper the notice above required, and in the City of Baltimore,
by advertisement in all the daily newspapers which will pub-
lish the same at their current rate of advertising. And the
Sheriff of Baltimore City and of each county shall no longer
publish such notices of election, but in Howard County the
Sheriff shall set up the handbills hereinbefore referred to,
which handbills the Board of Supervisors shall have made up
and give to the Sheriff for the purpose of setting them up.
Said Board shall make all necessary rules and regulations
not inconsistent with this Article, with reference to the regis-
tration of voters and the conduct of elections, and they shall
have charge of and make provision for all elections, general,
special, local, municipal, State and county, and for all others
of every description, to be held in such city or county, or any
part thereof, at any time; all questions shall be decided by a
majority of the Board, unless otherwise expressly provided
in this Article; provided, however, that in any incorporated
