final. The Council shall give at least five days' notice of the
time and place of sitting of the officers of registration, by
means of handbills, posted in at least ten conspicuous places, in
said town, or by advertisements in one or more newspapers of
general circulation in the said town. The said officers of regis-
tration, as soon as their sittings are finished, shall forthwith
transmit to the Clerk of the said town, an alphabetical list of
the persons registered at such sittings. The said Clerk shall
on the same day, post in his office a copy of such alphabetical
list of the persons registered as aforesaid, so as to be available
for public inspection.

A general registration of all voters residing in the said town
shall be had before the first Municipal Election to be held under
the provisions of this Act. Such general registration shall
thereafter be held at such times as the Council may by ordi-
nance direct; provided, however, that in no case shall more
than five years elapse between any such general registration
and the next succeeding general registration. The Council shall
appoint three registration officers to conduct registration with
the least possible delay and inconvenience to applicants apply-
ing for registration; and the Council may by ordinance direct
officers of registration to sit for the registration of qualified
voters on such additional days as may in the judgment of the
Council be necessary; provided, however, that nothing herein
contained shall be deemed to relieve the officers of registration
from sitting on the days and the hours herein specifically pro-
vided.

The Council is authorized and directed to fix the compensa-
tion of such officers of registration, and to pay such compensa-
tion and all other expense incident to the registration herein
provided for.

The Council is further authorized to promulgate by ordi-
nance, rules and regulations not inconsistent with the provi-
sions of this Act, relating to the registration herein provided.

Municipal improvements within its corporate limits.
