OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF STATE

To the Clerk of the Court of Appeals:

I, JOHN R. REEVES, SECRETARY OF STATE OF THE STATE OF
MARYLAND, pursuant to the direction contained in Section
203 of Article 33 of the Code of Maryland (1947 Edition)
DO HEREBY CERTIFY, That at a Special Election which was
held in the 4th and 5th Precincts of the 17th Election Dis-
trict of Prince George's County, on October 16, 1951 and at
such election an Act known as Chapter 487 of the Acts of
1951, was submitted to the said voters of the 4th and 5th
Precincts of Prince George's County, for their adoption or
rejection, under provisions of Chapter 487 of the Acts of
1951, said Act being:

"An Act to repeal and re-enact with amendments, Sec-
tion 605A (a) and (b) of the Prince George's County
Code (1943 Edition), being Article 17 of the Code of
Public Local Laws of Maryland, title 'Prince George's
County', sub-title Tire Companies', and to add one
new sub-section to Section 605B of said Article and
Code, to be known as Sub-section (i) and to follow
immediately after sub-section (h) of said section, as
amended by Chapter 170 of the Acts of 1949, adding
the fourth and fifth precincts of the 17th Election
District and certain fire companies to said Act and
providing for a referendum thereon".

AND I DO CERTIFY, That as said election 140 votes were
cast in favor of the adoption of said Chapter 487 of the Acts
of 1951 and 287 votes were cast against the adoption of the
said Act; and a majority being opposed to the adoption of
the Act it has therefore failed of ratification.

IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto sub-
scribed my name and affixed hereto my
(Secretary of Official Seal, at the City of Annapolis, this
State's Seal) 29th day of October, 1951.

JOHN R. REEVES,
