PHILLIPS LEE GOLDSBOROUGH, GOVERNOR. 69

SECTION 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Mary-
land, That Section 71 of Article 21 of the Code of Public Local
Laws of Maryland, title "Talbot County," sub-title "Easton,"
as passed by the General Assembly of Maryland at the Janu-
ary Session of 1906, Chapter 458, as amended by Chapter 365
of the Acts of 1910, be and the same is hereby repealed and
re-enacted with amendments so as to read as follows:

71. All ordinances or resolutions duly passed by the Council
and properly certified by the President of the Council as hav-
ing been so passed, shall be delivered by the Town Clerk to the
Mayor for his approval within three days after its passage, and
there shall be noted on said ordinances or resolutions the date
of said delivery; and when approved by him they shall become
ordinances or resolutions of the Mayor and Council of Easton.
If the Mayor shall not approve of any ordinances or resolutions
so passed by the Council, he shall return the same with his ob-
jections in writing to the Council at its next regular meeting,
excluding special meetings called by the Mayor or by the Presi-
dent of the Council or occurring after such delivery of such
ordinances or resolutions to him, which objections, upon receipt
of the same by the Council, shall be forthwith read to the Coun-
cil and entered at large on its journal. And the Council shall
at its next meeting after such ordinance or resolution shall have
been returned to it by the Mayor, proceed to reconsider and
vote upon the same. If such ordinance or resolution shall, after
reconsideration, be again passed by a four-fifths vote of all the
members elected to said Council, it shall be and become to all
intents and purposes an ordinance or resolution of the Mayor
and Council of Easton. If any ordinance or resolution duly
passed by the Council shall not be returned by the Mayor to
the Council by its next regular meeting, excluding special meet-
ings called by the Mayor; or the President of the Council, after
it shall have been delivered to him, the same shall become an
ordinance or resolution of the Mayor and Council of Easton in
the same manner as if the Mayor had approved it, unless the
Council by an adjournment of a period exceeding one month
shall prevent its return, provided, however, the Mayor may, in
his discretion, submit to a veto at any special meeting. In case
an ordinance or resolution duly passed by the Council shall
embrace different items of appropriation the Mayor may approve
the provisions thereof relating to one or more items of appro-
priation or involving expense to the town and disapprove the
others, and in such case, those he shall approve shall become
effective and those he shall not approve shall be reconsidered
