TOWN RECORDS
For particulars regarding births, marriages, and deaths, we refer you to the following pages.
This office continues to lack the necessary help to do all the work it is called upon to do-which includes the re- vision of the Voting List (containing some 22,000 names) with its manifold calls; and since the Board of Registrars have by law taken over the making of the True List, with its never ending additions and corrections, etc., the de- mands upon us have been greatly increased. Fortunately we have had assistance from the W. P. A., Unemployment, and the Youth Movement, and thus have been able to keep our heads above water.

Town Clerk.

BOARD OF REGISTRARS
:
Honorable Board of Selectmen
Arlington, Mass.
Gentlemen :
We beg to submit our report for 1940:
On January 1st the Board appointed Assistant Regis- trars to take a census of all persons in the town twenty years of age and over. The List was duly prepared and printed according to law, with clerical assistance from the Town's unemployment roll.
In February the Board held nine afternoon and even- ing sessions for registering voters prior to the Town elec- tion, at which time 705 persons qualified to appear on the Voting List; in August five afternoon and evening sessions were held prior to the Primaries, and 1,670 persons quali- fied as voters; and in October eight afternoon and evening sessions were held prior to the November election, and 1,998 persons qualified as voters; the total for the year being 4,373.
Following the State Election in November, when 21,147 votes were cast, a recount of the votes cast for Governor was necessary because the majority of candidate Saltonstall over Paul A. Dever was less than one per cent of the total votes cast. Our recount took place in Robbins Memorial Town Hall on November 27th, and resulted in a decrease of 36 votes for Saltonstall and an increase of 17 votes for Dever.
Below is a list of the number of voters in each of the fourteen precincts, showing a total of 22,624 registered voters as of October 16.
