So help me God.” (or “under the pains and penalties of perjury.”)
(c) The town clerk shall certify upon such list the time at which such oath was taken by each lister and the date when the completed grand list was so filed and thereupon such list so lodged, certified, and sworn to shall become the grand list of such town, subject, however, to any and all corrections or additions therein or thereto as otherwise provided by law.
