40:69A-170.  Signatures to recall petition
    The signatures to a recall petition need not all be appended to one paper but each signer shall add to his signature his place of residence giving the street and number or other sufficient designation if there shall be no street and number.  One of the signers to each such paper shall take an oath before an  officer competent to administer oaths that the statement therein made is true  as he believes and that each signature to the paper appended is the genuine  signature of the person whose name it purports to be.  Within ten days from the  date of filing the petition the municipal clerk shall complete its examination  and ascertain whether or not such petition is signed by the requisite number of  qualified voters, and shall attach to the petition his certificate showing the  result of his examination.  If by that certificate the petition is shown to be insufficient it may be amended within ten days from the date of said certificate.  The municipal clerk shall, within five days after such amendment,  make a similar examination and determination of the amended petition, and if  the certificate shall show the same to be insufficient, it shall be returned to  the person filing it without prejudice to the filing of a new petition to the  same effect.
