1702                       Certificates of Referenda

1955, Ch. 606—St. Mary's County
Executive Department
Annapolis, Maryland

Governor's Proclamation Declaring the Result of the
Election of November 6, 1956, for Referendum

Whereas, under authority contained in Article 16 of the Constitu-
tion of Maryland, the Secretary of State was legally and duly peti-
tioned by the qualified voters of St. Mary's County, Maryland, to
submit to the qualified voters of said County for their adoption or
rejection at the election to be held on November 6, 1956, Chapter 606
of the Acts of the General Assembly of 1955; and

Whereas, the Secretary of State, acting under the authority con-
tained in said Article 16 of the Constitution of the State, did at said
election of November 6, 1956, so submit the said Act to the qualified
voters of St. Mary's County, Maryland; and

Whereas, from the returns of said election transmitted to me as
required by the provisions of Article 16 of the Constitution, it ap-
pears that:

For adoption of Chapter 606 aforesaid, 1,110 votes were cast
and against the adoption thereof, 2,101 votes were cast in said
county

Now, Therefore, I, Theodore R. McKeldin, Governor of Mary-
land, do by this my Proclamation issued under the authority and
direction contained in said Article 16 of the Constitution, hereby de-
clare and proclaim that in St. Mary's County, Maryland, a majority
of the votes having been cast against the adoption of the said re-
ferred law, Chapter 606 of the Acts of 1955, the same has failed of
adoption and ratification and, therefore, under the provisions of
Article 16 of the Constitution, stands rejected by a majority of the
qualified voters of St. Mary's County.

Given Under my Hand and the Great Seal of the State
of Maryland, Done at the City of Annapolis, this
(Great Seal 26th Day of November, in the Year of Our Lord, One
of the State Thousand Nine Hundred and Fifty Six.
of Maryland)

(s) Theodore R. McKeldin,

By the Governor.

(s) Blanchard Randall,

Secretary of State.
