34. (1) Registration shall be essential to the right to
vote at any election held under the provisions of this sub-
title, or under the provisions of any Act of the General
Assembly of Maryland, submitting any proposition or ques-
tion to the decision of the voters of the Town of Bruns-

together with such additions, changes and alterations as
