HERBERT R. O'CONOR, GOVERNOR. 1251

(F) That said registration shall be conducted on the two
days named, between the hours of 7 o'clock P. M. and 9 o'clock
P. M., at the regular meeting place of the Hillside Commission,
unless said Commission shall, by resolution entered in the
minute books of said Commission, appoint a different place.

(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 Hillside 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 at-
tained 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 reg-
istration, shall be eligible to vote at all town elections so long
as they remain bona fide residents of said town. Provided,
however, that nothing contained in this paragraph shall ap-
ply to the election provided for in Section 11 of this Act to
determine whether or not this Charter shall be adopted.

(I) That said Board of Election Supervisors shall deter-
mine the qualifications and right of each applicant to register
by asking such applicant the following question, which shall
be answered under oath by such applicant: (1) Are you a citi-
zen of the United States? (2) Have you attained the age of
twenty-one (21) years? (3) Have you been a bona fide resi-
dent of the town of Hillside 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 register. But should such applicant refuse to
answer all such questions, or should the answer to such appli-
cant be in the negative to any such question, then such appli-
cant 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 Su-
pervisors to make a record of all applicants who present them-
selves to register, and a record of all persons who have reg-
istered, 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 before the secretary
commissioner, or before a justice of the peace or other officer
