the same agree where there is any difference between them.
Each of the said officers having the custody of any of said
registers shall then sign his name or initials immediately under
the last name registered under each letter in the book kept by
him, so that no new names can be added without discovery.

for that purpose by the Board of Supervisors of Elections, an
alphabetical list of names, addresses and color of all persons
registered, and a separate list of all persons refused registration,
and of all persons whose names are erased from the registry.
