The said judges shall hold such terms of the Circuit Court in each
of the counties composing their respective circuits, at such times as
are now prescribed or may hereafter be prescribed by rules or regula-
tions by the Court of Appeals or otherwise by law. One judge in each
of the first seven circuits shall constitute a quorum for the transac-
tion of any business; and the said judges, or any of them, may hold
special terms of their Courts, when in their discretion, the business
of the several counties renders such terms necessary.
All provisions of the Constitution of Maryland and all Acts of the
General Assembly relating to the Court of Appeals or any other
courts, and all rules heretofore adopted by the Court of Appeals, not ,
inconsistent with the provisions of the sections amended or added
by this amendment, shall remain in full force and effect unless and
until amended or repealed by proper authority. All salaries now
prescribed by law for associate judges of the Circuit Courts shall
continue to apply to all judges (including chief judges) of the Circuit
Court. No member of the General Assembly at which either of these
amendments was proposed, or at which the number of salary of
judges for any of the eight circuits or for any of the counties may
be or may have been increased or decreased by the General Assembly
from time to time, if otherwise qualified, shall be ineligible for ap-
pointment or election as judge of the Court of Appeals or any other
court by reason of his membership in such General Assembly.
In the event and to the extent of any inconsistency between the
provisions of any section amended or added by these amendments
and any of the other provisions of this Constitution or the provisions
of any existing law, the provisions of the sections amended or added
shall prevail, and such other provisions shall be repealed or abrogated
to the extent of such inconsistency, except Section 35A of Article III
of this Constitution; provided, however, that in the event of any
inconsistency between the provisions of the sections thus amended
or added and any of the other provisions of the sections thus amended
or added and any of the other provisions of this Constitution as
amended by any other amendments which may be adopted at the
same time or times as these amendments, i.e., at the election held
in November, 1944, or at the election held in November, 1954, or at
the election held in November, 1960, the changes made by these
amendments and all such other amendments to this Constitution
shall all be given effect.
SEC. 2. And be it further enacted, That the aforegoing section
hereby proposed as an amendment to the Constitution of Maryland,
at the next general election to be held in this State in November
1966, shall be submitted to the legal and qualified voters thereof for
their adoption or rejection in pursuance of directions contained in
Article 14 of the Constitution of this State, and at the said general
election, the vote on the said proposed amendments to the Constitu-
tion shall be by ballot, and upon each ballot there shall be printed
the words "For the Constitutional Amendment" and "Against the
Constitutional Amendment" as now provided by law, and, imme-
diately after said election, all returns shall be made to the Governor
of the vote for and against said proposed amendment, as directed
