SAVING CLAUSE:

118. The enumeration of particular powers in this char-
ter shall not be held or deemed to be exclusive, and the
city shall have such other powers as are incident to those
specifically mentioned or as are a necessary consequence of
the powers herein conferred. In addition to the powers
enumerated in this charter, the city shall have all powers,
rights, and privileges now or hereafter granted by the Con-
stitution and laws of the State of Maryland.

SEPARABILITY CLAUSE:

119. If any section or part of section of this charter shall
be held invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such
holding shall not affect the remainder of this charter nor
the context in which such section or part of section so held
invalid shall appear, except to the extent that an entire
section or part of section may be inseparably connected in
meaning and effect with the section or part of section to
which such holding shall directly apply.

REFERENDUM OF CHARTER:

120. Before this charter shall become effective the ques-
tion shall be submitted to the qualified voters of the City
of Frostburg at the next general city election to be held in
said city on the first Tuesday in April, 1954. There shall
be placed on the official ballot the words, "For New Char-
ter", and the words "Against New Charter" with a square
or box to the right of and opposite each such set of words so
that the voters shall be able to designate by a cross mark
in the proper square or box their decision for or against
this question. If a majority of the votes cast on the question
shall be cast "For a New Charter", this charter shall be-
come effective immediately. If a majority of the votes cast
on the question shall be cast "Against a New Charter", this
charter shall not become effective and shall be wholly null
