proceed to fill the same, the chairman and secretary of such committee
shall thereupon make and file with the proper officer a certificate setting
forth the cause of the vacancy, the name of the person nominated, the
office for which he was nominated, the name of the person for whom the
new nominee is to be substituted, the fact that the committee was author-
ized to fill vacancies, and such further information as is required to be
given in an original certificate of nomination. The certificate so made
shall be executed, acknowledged and filed in the manner prescribed for
the original certificate of nomination, and shall except in case of a nomi-
nee dying, be filed at least eight days before the day of election, and in
cases of either resignation or death, shall be filed within six days after
the vacancy shall have occurred, and upon being so filed shall have the
same force and effect as an original certificate of nomination. In the
case, however, of any nominee dying within so short a time before the day
of election, that the certificate of nomination of the new nominee shall not
have been filed with or certified to the Supervisors of Elections until
after six days before the day of election, thus being too late for the name
of the new nominee to be printed on the ballots, the Board of Supervisors
of said city shall at once cause to be printed a sufficient number of stickers
bearing the name of such substituted nominee, and shall deliver the same
in due time to the judges of election for all of those precincts in said city,
and said judges shall affix such stickers in the proper place on each ticket
before it is given out to the voter. If the resignation, or disqualification,
or death and consequent change of nominee shall have occurred and been
made after the first publication provided for in Section 364, and before
the second publication, the Board of Supervisors shall, if possible, make
the proper change in the second publication. If questions of local concern
are to be submitted for approval to the vote of the people of said city, the
same shall be certified to said Supervisors of Elections within said period
by the Board of Aldermen and shall be advertised as herein provided in
the case of nominees for city offices.

of ballots and cards of instruction for the voters in the City of Frederick,
and the delivery of the same to the judges of elections, as provided in this
sub-title, shall be at public expense, the payment of which shall be pro-
vided for by the City of Frederick. All ballot boxes shall be constructed
as follows: Each box shall be one foot, outside measure, as near as may
be, in width and length, and eighteen inches in depth, strapped and se-
cured on each edge and corner, with brass mouldings, securely brazed
or soldered together at the junction thereof, so as to prevent it from being
