at the meeting or any adjournment thereof and make a written report

thereof. The board of directors may designate one or more persons as

inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his duties, shall take

and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector at such

meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of his

ability.
