The Board of Election Supervisors shall prepare a list of
those qualified to vote on the question, whose names are found
on the general register. The said Commission shall have pre-
pared from the tax books of the County, under the direction
of the County Clerk, separate lists of the resident and non-resi-

on said bond issues, at times of County, State or general elec-
tions, appoint such additional clerical help as may be needed
and approved of by said Commission.

County, and the ballot shall contain the words "For Sewerage
