HERBERT R. O'CONOR, GOVERNOR. 1461

The Board of Supervisors of Elections of the various counties
of the State, within the amounts authorized by the County
Commissioners of each County, shall have power to fix the
compensation of judges and clerks of election or registration,
which compensation shall be paid by the respective County
Commissioners of each County, and shall not be less than seven
dollars per day, nor more than twenty dollars per day for each
day actually served.

9. It shall be the duty of the respective Board of Super-
visors to appoint and to provide for furnishing, heating, light-
ing and cleaning, a suitable place of registration and polling
place in each precinct of their county or city, which shall be as
near the center of the voting population of the precinct as prac-
ticable; provided, however, that whenever all three Supervisors
of the said county or city, as the case may be, shall file in their
office a sworn statement in writing that a suitable place cannot
in their judgment be secured in any precinct, a suitable place
in an adjoining precinct may be provided; in no case shall a
registration or election b, e held in any building or part of any
building used or occupied as a saloon, dramshop, poolroom,
billiard hall or bowling alley, or communicating therewith by
doors or hallways. In Baltimore City and in any county now or
hereafter providing for a permanent board of registration, no
places of registration need be provided in the respective pre-
cincts of said city or county, but all matters of registration may
be conducted in the office of the Board of Supervisors of Elec-
tions. It shall be the duty of each Board of Supervisors of
Elections to use, wherever possible and practicable, public
buildings, such as school-houses and fire-engine houses, for
registration and polling places; and it shall be the duty of all
public officials having charge of such buildings to place them at
the disposal of said Boards of Supervisors on days of registra-
tion and elections when application for their use is made by
said Boards of Supervisors. In Allegany County during the
hours of balloting in any primary or general election, the
illumination on the shelf in each voting booth shall be not less
than five-foot candles of light and shall be by electricity where
available.

10. The Board of Supervisors in each county shall give ten
days' notice of the time and place of all elections in each pre-
cinct of such county, by advertisements in two newspapers of
general circulation published in said county (one of which
newspapers, if possible, shall be of opposite political faith from
that of the majority of the Board of Supervisors) and, in the
discretion of the Board, by handbills set up in such public
places in each precinct as the Board may determine. In Balti-
more City, such notice shall be given by advertisement in all the
daily newspapers which will publish the same at their current
