desire to comment?

DELEGATE HARDWICKE : Mr. Chairman, I have

3

studied the proposal very carefully and discussed it at

4

great length with Delegate Clagett, and I consider it to

5

be a desirable addition and frankly I think that it will

6

be an improvement. It is a well thought out provision

7

for this Schedule of Legislation, and I urge that it be

8

adopted.

9

THE CHAIRMAN: Any further discussion?

10

(Cries of "Question")

11

THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Bennett.

12

DELEGATE BENNETT: Delegate Clagett, what

13

concerns me about this section is the timing of it. I

14

take it that the Board of County Commissioners could post-

15

pone the appointment of this charter board up until

16

July 1st, 1970 or verv nearly to that date, and then

17

your amendment would come too late, would it not?

18

DELEGATE CLAGETT: Yes, it would then be

19

ineffective because, of course, this whole amendment is

20

designed to fill the gap between the time that the

21

General Assembly would have to act upon it.
