REPORT OF THE BOARD OF REGISTRARS
The Board of Registrars held the usual public registration periods prior to town and state elections during 1958.
Recounts held following the annual election for School Com- mittee and Park Commissioner did not make any change in the election as originally determined. Also in November recount was held of votes cast for Representative in the 19th District at the state election. How- ever, original result remained unchanged.
Annual listing of all residents 20 years of age and over was carried out under supervision of the Registrars during January and February and the 1958 street list was compiled. At this time dog owners were listed.
Voting lists were checked by the board and names of those who did not appear on 1958 street list were removed and so notified.
As of December 31, 1958 list of voters showed as follows: Precinct 1 - 2,335; Precinct 2 - 1,679; Precinct 3 - 1,520 - making a total of 5,534 voters.
