I provides that after the general |i | election in 180(5 the books shall S 0! be kept open for three successive - I days in each month until thirty p ' . 11 j days before the general election of ! n e 1898. It then provides, 'after f each succeeding general election, ! s| i the registration books shall ba 1 jr 'opened on the tirst Monday in! u i each month until thirty days pre-1 ceding any general election.' It seems clear from these pro" j visions that the books of registra- I ie I . ? tion for the year lsps must be r- I * v ' kept open for three days until 00 I days before the election, ami that, .? after each general election, sue- i IS I . feeding the general election of 1808, they are to be kept open on the tirst Monday in each month. I am of the opinion, therefore, that the books should be opi ned . on the first.
