sit as an officer of registration, in the City Hall or in some
other centrally located and convenient place, for the pur-

and for transferring voters from one ward to the other in
case such voters have changed their residence, and also for
the purpose of adding the names of new and qualified voters
to the list of registration, and of striking off from said
registry the names of voters, known to be dead or proved
to be dead to his satisfaction, or who are known to have
changed their place of residence by removal, from the town
of Cambridge or by removing from one ward to the other,
