appoint the place of registration and also the polling place in
each precinct of their county or city and to cause the same

registration and polling shall in all cases be upon the ground
floor of a building, the entrance to which is from the highway
or from a public street at least forty feet wide if in the City
of Baltimore and at least twenty-five feet wide if in the coun-
ties, in a room facing on said street or highway and shall be
as near the center of the voting population of the precinct
and as convenient to the greatest number of voters as is prac-
ticable, and in no case shall a registration or election be held
in any building, or part of the building, used or occupied as
a saloon, dram-shop, poolroom, billiard hall or bowling alley,
or communicating therewith by doors or hallways. If no suit-
able place is found the supervisors shall provide one. Pro-
vided, however, that, after the year 1940, no places of registra-
tion shall be provided in the respective precincts of Baltimore
City and Washington County, but all the work of registration,

of Supervisors of Elections of said City and Washington
County.
