placing in the United States mail addressed to said voter
to the place of residence set put in said registration books
with sufficient postage prepaid, a notice that his name has

registration days, the said Supervisors of Election sitting
as Registration Officials shall pass upon all the names
noted as above set out, and after hearing such evidence
as may be presented before them, shall determine whether
such name shall remain upon said books, or shall be stricken
off, and in case they shall decide that any of such names
shall be stricken off, they shall draw a line in red ink
through such name on the registration books, and shall
write in red ink at the end of said line the words "stricken
off" and the date and the party whose name is thus stricken
off shall not be entitled to vote in said town until his name
be replaced thereon, as hereinafter provided.

Any person feeling aggrieved at the action of the Super-
visors of Election acting as Registration Officials in re-
fusing to register him, or in striking off the books his
name, or in unlawfully registering some other person, shall
have the right of appeal to the Circuit Court for Kent
County at any time within five days, exclusive of Sundays
and legal holidays, from the action of the officials by which
he is aggrieved, which appeal shall be, by way of petition
for review, addressed to said court and naming as defend-
ants the Registration Officials and the party whose name
the petitioner desires to have stricken from the books, if
it be such a case, and said court shall as soon as possible
set said case for hearing and notify the defendants and
require the presence at such hearing of the Registration
Officials aforesaid, and if the determination of said court
upon such question is different from the determination
thereof made by the Registration Officials, it shall direct
such officials to correct their records in accordance with
its order, which said Registration Officials shall forth-
with do.

Any person desiring to have him name placed upon the
official ballot at the time of election for Mayor or Council-
man, shall at least fifteen days prior to the election file
