ART. XI-A.*] CONSTITUTION. 77 cil, and when so proposed shall be submitted to the voters of
said city or county at the next General or Congressional elec-
tion occurring after the passage of said resolution, or the filing
of said petition; and if at said election the majority of the
votes cast for and against said amendments shall be in favor
thereof, said amendment shall be adopted and become a part
of the charter of said city or county from and after the
thirtieth day after said election. Said amendments shall be
published by said Mayor of Baltimore or President of the
County Council once a week for five successive weeks prior
to said election in at least one newspaper published in said
city or county. SEC. 6. The power heretofore conferred upon the General
Assembly to prescribe the number, compensation, powers and
duties of the County Commissioners in each county, and the
power to make changes in Sections 1 to 6, inclusive, Article XI
of this Constitution, when expressly granted as hereinbefore
provided, are hereby transferred to the voters of each county
and the voters of City of Baltimore, respectively, provided
that said powers so transferred shall be exercised only by
the adoption or amendment of a charter as hereinbefore pro-
vided; and provided further, that this Article shall not be
construed to authorize the exercise of any powers in excess of
those conferred by the Legislature upon said counties or city
as this Article sets forth. SEC. 7. The word "Petition," as used in this Article, means
one or more sheets written or printed or partly written and
partly printed; "Signature" means the signature of a regis-
tered voter written by himself in his own handwriting (and
not by his mark), together with the ward or district and pre-
cinct in which he is registered. The authenticity of such sig-
natures and the fact that the persons so signing are registered
voters shall be evidenced by the affidavit of one or more regis-
tered voters of the city or county in which said voters so sign-
ing are registered, and one affidavit may apply to or cover any
number of signatures to such petition. The false signing of
any name, or the signing of any fictitious name to said petition
shall be forgery, and the making of any false affidavit in con-
nection with said petition shall be perjury. *Added by Chapter 416, 1914. Ratified November 2, 1.915.
