NOTARIES PUBLIC are appointed for the several counties and Balti-
more City by the Governor, with the consent of the Senate. They arc-
required to be citizens of the United States, and to have resided in the
State of Maryland for at least two years. The residence of the Notary
is to be designated by the Governor in the commission. They hold
office for a term of two years. The number of Notaries in the counties.
is fixed by the Governor and Senate at the session of the General As-
sembly next preceding the month of May in which their term of office
begins, it being the number for each county nominated by the Gov-
ernor and confirmed by the Senate. The number allowed in the City
of Baltimore is one hundred and twenty-five. Notaries bond in the-
Baltimore City in the sum of six thousand dollars and in the coun-
ties in the sum of two thousand-dollars.

SCHOOL COMMISSIONERS are appointed by the Governor, with the con-
sent of the Senate, as follows: In the counties of Baltimore, Carroll,
Frederick, Dorchester, Washington and Montgomery the Board consists-
of six members, and in the other counties of three. One-third of each
Board are appointed for two years, one-third for four years and one-third
for six years, and at the expiration of these terms of office the suc-
cessor is appointed for six years, thus making one-third of each Board's
members expire every two years. The Governor is also required to
appoint one-third of each Board from the political party which at
the last preceding election for Governor polled next to the highest
number of votes in the State, thus securing minority representation.
on each Board. (Chapter 353, 1906.)
