REPORT OF THE REGISTRARS OF VOTERS
Report of the Registrars of Voters
Honorable Board of Selectmen
Arlington, Mass.
Gentlemen :
The Registrars of Voters herewith submit the following report for the year 1951:
Assistant Registrars were again appointed by our Board to assist in the anual listing, as required by law, of all persons who were twenty years of age or over and whose place of legal residence on January first was in the Town of Arlington.
During the year, the Board held ten evening sessions in public buildings situated throughout the Town for the registration of voters, at which 95 persons were qualified to vote in elections. An additional 441 persons were so qualified during the regular business hours at the Office of the Town Clerk. A total of 536 names were, therefore, added to the voting list.
The total number of registered voters upon completion of the revi- sion of the voting list on July 1, 1951, was 22,974, divided into voting precincts, as follows:
Precinct 1
1436
Precinct 8 1669

A Petition was filed by John H. O'Brien and William J. O'Brien, Jr. in Middlesex Superior Court for a Writ of Mandamus to order the words "LOWER TAXES", as contained in their nomination papers for election as Assessor and Commissioner of the Sinking Fund, respective- ly, be printed on the official ballot for the Town Election. The Board was represented at the hearing by Town Counsel, Rusesell T. Hamlet, following which the decision of the Court filed by Justice Good on February 16, 1951, denied the Petition.
Mr. Carl Lindberg, 39 Jason Street, by appointment of your Board, served as a Registrar of Voters at the Town Election in the absence of Mr. Ernest Hesseltine.
142
ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
A recount of the ballots cast for the Board of Public Works in each precinct at the Town Election was made on Saturday, March 17, beginning at 9:30 A.M., and was completed at 12:15 P.M. The details of the recount are included in the Record of Elections and Town Meetings, which appears elsewhere in the printed Town Report.
