It

under

scrutiny
of
a
court
of
revision
yesterday
at
the
City

The
duty
of
the
court
of

was
to
make
whatever
adjustments
necessary
to
the
newly
compiled
voters'
list
under
the
regulations
governing
the
eleg-iblllty
of
voters.
Out
of
nine
names
taken
from
the
list,
seven
were
of
de
ceased
persons
and
two
were
duplications.
The
duplications
were
the
result
of
confusion
arising
from
the
fact-
that
two
property
owners,
employing
variations
of
their
Christian
names,
had
been
automatically

more

they
