G. The Committee shall publish the results of such refer-
endum and shall thereafter consider and determine whether
the division and/or combination requested in the petition is
administratively practicable and feasible. If the Committee
shall determine that the division and/or combination of such
district or districts is not administratively practicable and
feasible, it shall record such determination and deny the peti-
tion. If the Committee shall determine that the division
and/or combination is administratively feasible and practicable,
it shall record such determination and proceed with the divi-
sion and^/or combination of the district or districts in the
manner hereafter provided. In making such determination
the Committee shall give due record and weight to the attitudes
of the occupiers of lands lying within the defined boundaries
of the districts to be affected, the number of land-occupiers
eligible to vote in such referendum who shall have voted, the
proportion of the votes cast in such referendum in favor of the
division and/or combination of the district or districts to the
total number of votes cast, the approximate wealth and income
of the land-occupiers of the proposed new district, or districts,
the probable expense of carrying on erosion-control operations
within such district or districts, and such other economic and
social factors as may be relevant to such determination, having
due regard to the legislative determinations set forth in Sec-
tion 46 of this Article. Provided, however, that no district
or districts may be divided and/or combined if a majority of
land-occupiers vote against either the particular division or
combination which is submitted to their vote as hereinabove
provided.

D. If the Committee shall determine that the proposed
division and/or combination is practicable and feasible in its
entirety, it shall appoint for each district to result from the
proposed division and/or combination two (2) supervisors
to act with three (3) supervisors to be elected in accordance
with, and subject to, the terms and conditions set forth in Sec-
tions 50 and 51 of this sub-title (except that the nominating
petitions shall be filed within thirty (30) days of the determi-
nation of the Committee and notice thereof to the eligible
voters), as the governing body of each such district. Any
existing supervisor shall be eligible to be appointed or elected
as a new supervisor. The Committee shall then certify to the
new supervisors, and to the supervisors of each existing dis-
trict which is to be divided and/or combined (hereinafter some-
times called old supervisors), the determination of the Com-
mittee as to the administrative practicability and feasibility
of the division and/or combination, the boundaries of the pro-
posed districts, the names, addresses, and positions of the
supervisors appointed or elected for each new district and
