WM. PRESTON LANE,, JR., GOVERNOR. 1427

notice shall state the place where such registration shall be
conducted.

(H) That all citizens of the United States who have
attained the age of twenty-one (21) years, and who are bona
fide residents of said town for at least six (6) months prior
to their registration shall be eligible to register and after
registration shall be eligible to vote at all town elections so
long as they remain bona fide residents of said town. Pro-
vided, however, that nothing contained in this paragraph
shall apply to the election provided for in Section 11 of this
Act to determine whether or not this Charter shall be adopted.

(I) That said Board of Election Supervisors shall de-
termine the qualifications and rights of each applicant to
register by asking such applicant the following questions,
which shall be answered under oath by such applicant: (1) Are
you a citizen of the United States? (2) Have you been a
bona fide resident of the Town of Morningside for at least six
months? (3) Have you attained the age of twenty-one (21)
years ? Should the answers of such applicant be in the affirma-
tive to each such question, it shall be the duty of said Board
to allow such applicant to register. But should such appli-
cant refuse to answer all such questions, or should the answer
of such applicant be in the negative to any such question, then
such applicant shall not be allowed to register. Should any
applicant answer any such question falsely, he shall be guilty
of the crime of perjury and ^ subject to the penalties provided
by the laws of the State of Maryland. Any applicant who
feels that he has been aggrieved by any ruling of said Board
as to his eligibility to register may appeal to the Circuit Court
for Prince George's County, which Court shall determine such
appeal.

(J) That it shall be the duty of said Board of Election
Supervisors to make a record of all applicants who present
themselves to register, and a record of all persons who have
registered, and a record of the reasons why any such appli-
cant has not been allowed to register, which said records shall
be signed by each member of said Board and sworn to before
the Secretary of Council, or before a Justice of the Peace or
other officer or person (including a Notary Public), having
authority to administer oaths in Prince George's County.
Such records, when not being actually used by said Board,
shall be turned over to said Morningside Council to be kept
among the town records. Such records shall be open to public
inspection.

(K) That the record containing the names of those persons
who have registered shall constitute and be the list of persons
