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

rent rate of advertising. And the Sheriff of Baltimore City and
of each county shall no longer publish such notices of election.

of voters and the conduct of elections, and they shall have charge

municipal, State and county, and for all others of every descrip-
tion, to be held in such city or county, or any part thereof, at
