and they shall make a list of those who, in their opinion,
may be disqualified thereon as voters, and they shall deliver
such list to the Clerk of the Town who shall forthwith send
written notice by mail to all persons whose names are so
given to him, notifying them to be and appear before the
officers of registration on the next succeeding revision day
to show cause, if any they have, why their names should
not be stricken from the lists of qualified voters of the
Town of Westernport, and the said Clerk shall certify to
the registration officers under oath the fact that such
notices were mailed and the time thereof. For the purpose
of revising such registration lists and striking therefrom
the names of those no longer qualified to vote in said town,
the registration officers shall sit one day each election year,
known as Revision Day, to be selected by the Mayor and
Commissioners of Westernport and which shall be not less
than five days prior to the election. Notice of the
same shall be given at the same time and manner as
notice of the preceding registration sitting. It will be the
duty of the registration officers on such day to strike from
the lists all those to whom notice has been mailed by the
Clerk as ordered, who do not appear before them at that
time and show cause why their names should not be
stricken off the lists of qualified voters or who have not
otherwise shown to them their qualifications as qualified
voters, provided such notice has been mailed by the Clerk
at least ten days before Revision Day. At the time of hold-
ing any election in said Town of Westernport the officers of
registration shall attend with and have in charge the lists
of qualified voters, registered and revised by them.
646. The said Mayor and Commissioners of Westernport
shall appoint every election year at least two days before
the day of election, three judges to hold elections; said
judges shall keep the polls open from nine o'clock in the
morning until 6 o'clock in the afternoon and shall conduct
the said election in the same manner in which the judges
of election are now directed to conduct elections for State
and county officials, as far as may be practicable, after
making oath before some Justice of the Peace for Allegany
County that they will only permit those to vote whose
names appear upon the registration lists, as duly qualified
voters, and the said judges shall make their returns as to
the votes cast and. persons elected at said election under
hands and seals; to the Mayor and Commissioners of West-
ernport and to the Clerk of the Circuit Court for Allegany
County, Maryland.
