case the officer of registration shall make the entry "Cannot
write", in the place of said signature.

The Board of Registry, of each precinct shall be entitled to
receive from the person or persons having the custody of the
same the last preceding registration books for the purpose of
comparison and assistance in identification, and if anyone ap-
plies for registration who appears in such former registry to
be disqualified, his name shall be entered in the new registry,
but he shall be marked "Disqualified" unless such grounds
of disqualification have been removed. At the end of each
day's registry, said officers of registration shall compare the
two registers so kept and cause any error in either of them
to be corrected by the aid of the entries in the other, so as
to make the same agree if there is any difference between
them. Each of said officers having the custody of one of said
registers shall then sign his name or initials at the end of
and under the last name registered, under each letter in the
book kept by him so that no name can be added without dis-
covery. The said Board of Registry shall keep on blanks, to be
prepared and provided for the purpose by the Board of Super-
visors of Elections for said city, an alphabetical list of the
names, addresses and color of all persons registered, and a
separate list of the names of all persons refused registration,
and of all persons whose names are erased from the registry.

The registry books to be furnished by the Supervisors of
Elections shall contain a column for "Affiliation" and another
column for "Sex". The Board of Supervisors shall as far as
practicable select the same places for registration and election
in Frederick City as are now or may hereafter be selected by
the Board of Supervisors of Elections for Frederick County
for State and County registrations and elections.
