I would urge everyone strongly to vote
against this amendment. It might be all
right up in Allegany County, but it cer-
tainly would not be a safe proposition in
Anne Arundel.
(Laughter.)
THE CHAIRMAN: Ready for the ques-
tion?
The Clerk will ring the quorum bell for
the last time this evening. The question
arises on the adoption of Amendment No.
14 to Committee Recommendation JB-1. A
vote Aye is a vote in favor of Amendment
No. 14. A vote No is a vote against.
Cast your votes.
Has every delegate voted? Does any dele-
gate desire to change his vote?
c»
(Tli ere was no response.)
The Clerk will record the vote.
There being 28 votes in the affirmative
and 86 in the negative, the motion is lost.
The amendment is rejected.
The Chair would like to acknowledge the
presence in the gallery of the Honorable
Emory H. Niles, long-time member of the
judiciary of the State of Maryland, for-
merly Chief Judge of the Supreme Bench
of Baltimore City.
(Applause.)
There are a number of other amendments
to section 5.11. The Chair would be dis-
posed to recognize Delegate Powers so the
Committee of the Whole could rise. For
what purpose does Delegate Schloeder rise?
DELEGATE SCHLOEDER: A point of
personal privilege, Mr. Chairman. I would
just like to extend an invitation to former
Judge Niles to attend tomorrow's proceed-
ings. I think he may find them interesting.
(Laughter.)
THE CHAIRMAN: The Chair recognizes
Delegate Powers.
DELEGATE POWERS: Mr. Chairman,
I move the Committee of the Whole rise
and report that it has not yet concluded
its consideration of Committee Recommen-
dation No. JB-1.
THE CHAIRMAN: Second?
(Whereupon, the motion was duly sec-
onded.)
All those in favor signify by saying Aye,
|
contrary No. The Ayes have it, it is so
ordered.
(Whereupon, at 6:05 P.M., the Commit-
tee of the Whole rose, and the Conven-
tion reconvened.)
(The mace was replaced by the Sergeant-
at-Arms.)

please come to order.
On behalf of the Committee of the Whole,
the Chair reports that the Committee of
the Whole has had under consideration
Committee Recommendation JB-1. It has
not concluded its consideration and desires
to sit again.
May I have your attention for just a few
announcements.
I am very sorry to tell you that Delegate
Cleveland is absent. He is ill. I am not cer-
tain of this but I understand he has had
further difficulty with his back. I do not
know how serious it is. I hope he is back
very soon.
Is there any delegates present now who
were not present at roll call who desire to
indicate their presence? Please do so on the
electronic board. Any announcements by
committee chairmen? Delegate Gallagher?

dent, the Committee on the Legislative
Branch will meet tonight at 8:00 P.M. to
continue throughout the evening and early
hours of the morning, if necessary, to com-
plete the Committee report.

delegate? Delegate Morgan.

the Committee on the Executive Branch
will meet immediately following this ses-
sion.

DELEGATE SHERBOW: The Commit-
tee on State Finance and Taxation will
meet at 9:30 A.M. tomorrow morning for
the nonconstitutional purpose of having its
