initials immediately under the last name registered under each
letter in the book kept by him, so that no new name 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 Election, an alphabetical list of the 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 Bal-
timore, 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 delivered by the said officer to the Police Board,
and by the Police Board to the Board of Supervisors of Elec-
tions in the forenoon of the day following the said sitting. The
Board of Supervisors for the city of Baltimore shall then cause
such list to be printed in hand-bill form, in plain long primer
type, and copies thereof posted within three days after each
session in such manner that they may be easily read, in at
