give an opinion concerning the time
in which you are required to close
your registration books, will say
that, after an examination of the sub
ject, | have reached the conclusion
that it is your duty to keep the same
open until 5 o'clock on the 10th day
of May, 1904.
Section 2S46 of Bellinger G. Cotton's
code provides that 1T shall be the
duty of every elector in the state of
Oregon, between the first Monday in
Janaury, 1900, and o'clock p. m. of
the 18th day of May, 1900, and be-
tween the same dates and hours BIZ
ennially thereafter, to register with
some notary public or justice of the
peace or with the county clerk of the
county in which the elector resides,
in accordance with this chapter"
Section 1865 of said code makes it
the duty of the county clerk between
said dates to enter upon the proper
registers every person who complies
with the requirements of this chapter,
and claims to be an elector residing
in the county.
AS the 18th day of May. 1904, falls
on a Sunday, the question to be de,
termined is whether or not you should
close your registration books on Sat
urday previous or on Monday follow
ing.
Our statute provides, "The time
within which an act is done, as pro
vided in this code, shall be computed
by excluding the first day and includ-
ing the last, unless the last day falls
upon a Sunday, Christmas or other
non-judicial day, in which case the
last day shall also be excluded, b. &
c. code section 531.
Statutes similar to the one you de-
sire construed have been interpreted
by the supreme court of this state in
several cases all of which decisions
hold to the effect that when the last
day fixed by law for doing an act falls
on Sunday, It shall be excluded, and
the time must be extended so as to
include the day following. In support
of this contention | cite

County Clerk Roland has decided to
keep the registration books open un-
fil Monday evening at 5 o'clock, in
spite of the opinion of Attorney-Gen-
eral Crawford that Saturday, May
14th was the last day.
The action of the county clerk is
due to an opinion of Deputy District
Attorney j. H. McNary, who believed
that as the last day falls on Sunday,
then the next day must be counted.
The district attorneys in other parts
of the state have advised in the same
way, and in order to give all an op-
.portunity to vote Mr., Roland thinks
that a liberal construction should be
placed on the law. The opinion of
Mr.. McNary, which was handed to
