yield to another question?

2

DELEGATE CLAGETT: Yes, sir, and I will take

3

advantage of this to say also to Delegate Bennett that

4

we do have some forcing procedure by the way of a petition

5

which is in Section 30, but it would be five per cent or

6

ten thousand whichever is less.

7

THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Raley.

8

DELEGATE RALEY: This section is very important

9

to the small counties who are going into this. What

10

bothers me here is that there is no limit on the number

11

that could be nominated. You could have such a large

12

committee if you have nine it seems to me you could have

13

a tremendously large committee. Did you consider having

14

a limited number that would be on that additional?

15

THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Clagett.

16

DELEGATE CLAGETT: The final number of persons

17

making up the charter board would not exceed nine. Those

18

on the ballot, of course, we do not place any limit upon

19

that provided there are three thousand or three per cent,

20

whichever is less, behind them.

THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Gullett.
