upon the LIST of voters, having be III question
ed BY some, - wish If YOU can snare room,
you N-ud insert in your next Paper, ~
much a the first Section Of the Act for rp,r-
uialng Elections, published May Y, 1907 u
relates TO their duty in that respect. in
derstand they cOnsuue the Act 10 he ~ IN
would read by passing over the words prir.
ted IN italics and considering the latter rarr
as connected only with the torlnCr and tb.r
the WOi ds so printed be subsequently, read.
as forming section On different suh.art.
This appears TO be a rational constituents, WI
the act and conform2ble to the DESIGN ~,
It clears il q ambigui,y. The parts folIuYy
IN natural order, and in my opinion Tie a.
clsion OF the Selectmen Is correct.
