A. The question Of your residence in

you say that you no longer actually
have a residence there, it is evident
that you mean residence In the sense
Of a physical abiding place. The fact
that you have personal effects in New
ark, that you voted in 1925, indicates
that you regard Ohio as your residence
and, as matter of right, 1t seems that
you would be permitted to register and
vote from the residence where your per-
Sonal effects are to be found however
the Board of Registration is the court
OF last resort on questions OF residence.
