The date of said election shall be fixed by the Mayor and
Common Council of Mount Rainier, Maryland, and notice
thereof shall be given by advertisement in one or more news-
papers published in Mount Rainier, and if there be no such
paper or if the charges of such paper for said advertising be
in excess of the standard rates heretofore adopted by the news-
paper editors of Prince George's County for similar advertise-
ments, than in a newspaper published in Prince George's
County which has a circulation in Mount Rainier once a week
for two successive weeks prior to said election, and also by
posting notices of such election in at least two places within
the limits of each ward in said town.

regular election.

And in the event that said election shall be held at some
