under for writing said name, and under the said line the words

folded ballot shall be of uniform width and length, and of
proper width to be deposited in the ballot boxes. All ballots
when printed shall be folded as above provided, and fastened

spective counties and in said city, cause to be conspicuously and
securely posted in one or more public places in each voting

cinct, at the then approaching election; such sample copies shall
be printed on light cardboard or heavy sized paper of consider-
ably magnified dimensions and one of them at least shall be
placed upon the exterior of each building in which the polls
will be held, so that the same can be readily seen and examined
by persons passing on the street or road.
