 That persons admitted to the elec- tors oath just prior 10 the primaries are eligible to vote at the primary elections Is the opinion given by Cor poration Counsel William N. Dero- sier to the registrars of voters, there by settling a long debated question. For years past the understanding has been that the newly made voters were ineligible 10 ballot at the pri- mary and accordingly none were al- lowed to vote before the final city election. The reason had been that the voters had not been certified. Re- gently the corporation counsel was asked for an opinion to guide the registrars In their actions and his opinion, taken from Section Sl Of Chapter 305 of the Public Acts of 1921 follows:
 Said board (selectmen) shall de- liver 10 the town clerk of the town a certified list in writing of all per sons admitted as electors at any meeting of the board held for the purpose of admitting electors, which shall be prima facie evidence that each person named therein possesses the requisite qualifications for ar elector, and the names of all persons so admitted shall be recorded in the records of such town, those appli' cants admitted on the day preceding election shall deliver to the registrar! certificate of such admission, ant the registrars shall write the wort Admitted" opposite the name be fore the applicant shall vote. Section 5S6 of the General Stat utes provides in part that every per son qualified may take the oath pro vided for electors and shall hereupo : be admitted as an elector Of thi state
 , Section A of the revised editio of the Charter of the City of Bristo provides In part that any elector c , the Town of Bristol shall have tn right to vote at said primary cleo tion,'
 ] Tt is my opinion from readin 7. of the provisions set forth above tha Q 1t is the duty of the registrars of tn n various districts to place upon the ;, respective lists all names of thos Q persons who have been admitted n the electors oath at the sessions | the board of ScleCtmen and Tow e Clerk preceding the primary clectit
 and to allow such electors 10 vote TT the primaries"

 Timetable Changes Few , The new timetable, effective " last Sunday. presented practically !, change as far as the local trai " were concerned. The only chan - has been the scheduling of the tra -, due here at 5:09 o'clock ten mi utes later. This arrangement mal
 matters more convenient 10 lo' people, who work in offices in Fla ford as 1t allows leeway to get th'
