HARRY W. NICE, GOVERNOR. 163

(G)" That said Board of Election Supervisors shall, at
least one week before the first registration day, post in a
public place in said town, and also at the regular meeting
place of the District Heights Commission, a notice of such
registration, which said notice shall state the place where
such registration shall be conducted.

(H) That all citizens of the United States who have
attained the age of twenty-one (21) years, and who are
bona fide residents of said town for at least six (6) months
prior to their registration, shall be eligible to register, and
after registration, shall be eligible to vote at all town elec-

town. Provided, however, that nothing contained in this
paragraph shall apply to the election provided for in Sec-
tion 11 of this Act to determine whether or not this Char-

register by asking such applicant the following questions,

been a bona fide resident of the Town of District Heights
for at least six (6) months? Should the answers of such
applicant be in the affirmative to each such question, it shall
be the duty of said Board to allow such applicant to regis-

questions, or should the answer of such applicant be in the
negative to any such question, then such applicant shall
not be allowed to register. Should any applicant answer
any such question falsely, he shall be guilty of the crime
of perjury and subject to the penalties provided by the
law of the State of Maryland. Any applicant who feels
that he has been aggrieved by any ruling of said Board as
to his eligibility to register may appeal to the Circuit Court
for Prince George's County, which Court shall determine
such appeal.

(J) That it shall be the duty of said Board of Election
Supervisors to make a record of all applicants who present
themselves to register, and a record of all persons who have
registered, and a record of the reasons why such applicant
has not been allowed to register, which said records shall
be signed by each member of said Board and sworn to be-
