1186 LAWS OF MARYLAND. [CH. 573

as is practicable, the said governing body of Cambridge, shall
by resolution and ordinance declare and make said suburban
section urban territory, and the same shall become part of
said urban territory of said Town, after the day named in
the said resolution and ordinance for it to take effect, and the
property in and the people residing in said section shall then
and thereafter become subject to all of the provisions of the
Charter of Cambridge, and all of the ordinances made and
passed thereunder, and said new urban territory shall be made
part of whichever of the existing wards of the urban territory,
as said section shall be most contiguous to, which may be best
for the best operation and effect of the Charter and Ordinances
of Cambridge, applicable to the urban territory thereof, and
should said section be contiguous to two or more wards of
said urban territory, then the existing lines of division be-
tween said wards, as said division lines are before the addi-
tion of said new section, shall be extended through the said
new section so that said new section, in parts, may be at-
tached to and become part of the several wards as the said
lines of division extended, may divide said new section into
parts, each part to a contiguous ward. And when any such
section of suburban territory shall be so made urban terri-
tory, all of the property therein shall then and thereafter be-
come subject to all of the provisions of the Charter and of
the Ordinances of Cambridge, and the people residing therein
shall be subject to all of the said provisions of the Charter
and Ordinances, with all the rights, obligations and duties there-
in set forth, including the right to register and vote and hold
office, under the Charter and Ordinances of the Town of Cam-
bridge.

And any male or female person, who at the time the said
suburban territory shall be made urban territory, as afore-
said, who possesses the qualifications required by the consti-
tution of the United States and of the State of Maryland, and
who has been a bona fide resident of the Town of Cambridge
for one year and of the said suburban section, which shall be
made urban territory, and become part of the ward of said Town
wherein he or she proposes to vote, for two months next pre-
ceding any municipal election, shall have the right to register
in said ward and vote at any such municipal election as though
any such person had lived for two months preceding such
election in the said ward, where they may propose to vote, and
any such person shall be duly qualified to hold office under the
Charter of the Town of Cambridge, as though they had re-
sided in said ward for two months preceding the said election,
providing they have the other qualifications therefor required
by the said Charter.
