WHEREAS by reason of the aforegoing and other ad-
verse conditions an emergency is hereby declared to exist
as a matter of legislative determination necessitating the
re-enactment with amendments as hereinafter provided of
the said Section 6A enacted by the said Act of 1933, Chap-
ter 57 as aforesaid; now therefore,

"Mortgages" is hereby re-enacted with amendments, to
follow immediately after Section 6 of said Article 66, and
to continue to be known as Section 6A, so as to read as
follows:

6A. In all mortgages of real and/or leasehold prop-
erty heretofore given or hereinafter given wherein there
is inserted a clause authorizing the mortgagee or any other
person to be named therein to sell the mortgaged premises
upon such terms and on such contingency as may be ex-
pressed therein, the power of sale therein contained shall
not be exercised until after June 1, 19, 37, except by and
