JURORS
In accordance with Chapter 234 of the General Laws, as amended by Chapter 211 of the Acts of 1924, the Election Com- missioners prepared a list of the inhabitants of Somerville, liable to serve as jurors. The Board has established a system, whereby each person, provisionally selected for jury service fills out a questionnaire and appears before a member of the Board at the office and makes oath to the statements contained therein. This gives the Board an opportunity to meet each individual and note, if any his physical defects or disability to render the county the service that would be re- quired of him as a juror. These personal examinations also, enable the Board to know the educational qualifications of each prospective juror. The jury list prepared by the Board for the year 1943 contains the names of eleven hundred (1100), voters.
