Each separate petition shall have attached thereto an affidavit made by one of the signers of the petition and sworn to before an officer competent to administer oaths, stating that the affiant circulated that particular petition and saw written the signatures appended thereto; and that according to the best information and belief of the affiant each is a genuine signature of the person whose name purports to be thereunto subscribed and of a qualified voter of the district. Within ten days from the date of filing such petition the secretary of the board shall examine and from the records of registration ascertain whether or not said petition is signed by the requisite number of qualified voters; and he shall attach to said petition his certificate showing the result of such examination.

The secretary shall within ten days after such supplementing papers are filed make like examination of the supplementing petition, and if the certificates shall show that all the names to such petitions, including the supplemental papers, are still insufficient, no action shall be taken thereon; but the petition shall remain on file as a public record; and the failure to secure sufficient names shall not be held prejudicial to the filing later of an entirely new peti- Recall of trustees.
