second Monday and Tuesday in April of each year in which a
municipal election is to be held the said City Clerk shall
likewise sit during the same hours as officer of registration
for said city for the purpose of registering the legally quali-
fied voters of said city.

It shall be the duty of said clerk to enter in alphabetical
order upon the registry book the name of every person ap-
pearing before Mm at the times above specified, and request-
ing to be registered; provided, he shall be satisfied by the
oath of said person, or otherwise, that he is a citizen of the
United States above the age of twenty-one years and has the
other qualifications required by this Act for voters of said
city, and the clerk shall have power to administer the oath
required by this section. On the Monday following the close
of the registration the Mayor and City Council shall revise
the list, striking therefrom the names of all persons who
are dead, or who have removed from the city, or who are other-
wise disqualified as voters; and within one week thereafter
they shall publish by hand-bills to be set up at the City Hall,
and in at least two other public places in said city, a list
of names that have been stricken from the registration books,
as well as a list of the new names added thereto. Any person
feeling aggrieved by the action of the clerk in registering or
refusing to register the name of any person as aforesaid, or
by the Mayor and City Council in striking out or in refusing
to strike out the name of any person, as aforesaid, shall have
the right of a hearing before the Council, which shall have
power to determine the matter, subject to an appeal to the
Circuit Court for Harford County. The clerk, by hand-bills
and by advertisements inserted in two newspapers if so many
be published in said city, shall give at least two weeks' pre-
vious notice of the time and place of the sitting for the
registration of voters, and at the same time he shall give notice
of the time and place of the sitting of the City Council for the
review of the registration lists.

The Mayor and City Council shall provide for an entire
new registration in the year 1941 and every seven years there-
after, but no entire new registration shall be made by the
Mayor and City Council or the clerk thereto at any other
time than as herein expressly set forth.

In the event of the sickness or temporary absence of the
clerk, the Mayor is hereby authorized to appoint a deputy clerk
to discharge the duties of said officer.
