886 LAWS OF MARYLAND. [CH. 456

The said registration shall specify the name, age, color and
place of residence of those registered, or applying for regis-
tration as voters, and for this purpose the Mayor and Council
of Brunswick shall provide the necessary registration books,
one for each ward, suitable for said purpose, and after the reg-
istration is completed the said books shall be returned by the
said officers of registration to the town clerk for the Mayor
and Council of Brunswick, the officers of registration having
first entered the initials of their names just below the last
name registered in each registration book, under each alpha-
betical list of names thereon; and the Clerk shall safely keep
and preserve them; and permit no person to have access there-
to save in his presence until the morning of election when the
Clerk shall deliver the same to the judges of election to be
used as the lists to be voted from and checked as the ballots
are deposited. When the registration books in use shall be-
come worn out, dilapidated, or unfit for further use the Mayor
and Council shall provide other similar books, and the names
of the voters shall be transcribed therein or new lists made or
an entire new registration had as determined by an order of
the Council; and in each year after the year 1916 and on the
last Tuesday of the month of June and the Wednesday follow-
ing the said Tuesday, the Clerk, or in case of his absence or
disability some suitable person appointed by the Mayor, shall
sit as an officer of registration, in the Council Chamber or in
some other public and convenient place, for the purpose of re-
vising such registry by transferring voters from one ward to
the other, in case such voters have changed their residence,
and also for the purpose of adding the names of new and quali-
fied voters to the list of registration, and of striking off from
said registry the names of voters known to be dead or proved
to be dead to his satisfaction, or who have changed their place
of residence by removal from the Town of Brunswick.

The Mayor and Council of Brunswick shall cause due ad-
vertisement of such registration, as well as of the sittings of
the town clerk as an officer of registration for the purposes
Hereinbefore specified by advertisement inserted in at least one
newspaper published or circulated in the Town of Brunswick,
stating the time and place of such registration and the wards
to which the same applies. Every such officer of registration
shall cause a copy of the lists of persons qualified and dis-
qualified in each ward separately to be published by handbills
posted in such public places about the town as he may elect,
within three days after the close of said registration. Any
