To the Clerk of the Court of Appeals of Maryland:

I, Claude B. Hellmann, Secretary of State of the State of
Maryland, pursuant to the direction contained in Section 172 of
Article 33 of the Annotated Code of Maryland, 1957 Edition, DO
hereby certify, that at the General Election held in the State of
Maryland on November 4, 1958, an Act known as Chapter 509 of the
Acts of the General Assembly of 1957, was submitted to the voters
of Frederick County under the provisions of Chapter 509 of the
Acts of 1957, said Act being as follows:

"An Act to add new Section 122A to Article 11 of the Code of
Public Local Laws of Maryland (1930 Edition), title 'Fred-
erick County', sub-title 'Fire Companies', to follow immediately
after Section 122 thereof, and said section having been amended
by Chapter 22 of the Acts of 1955, relating to a fire tax in
the Third Election District of Frederick County."

and I DO certify, that at said Election 184 votes were cast in
favor of adoption of Chapter 509 of the Acts of 1957 and 228 votes
were cast against the adoption of said Chapter 509 of the Acts of
1957, the said Act has therefore failed of ratification.

In Testimony Whereof, I have hereunto subscribed my
name and affixed my official seal at the City of
