1962] OF THE SENATE 43

Amendment No. 10—Following line 29 of Section 5 on page 4 of the
third reading file bill, insert the following new sub-section:

"(c-1) Notwithstanding the application of the formula in sub-
section (e), the number of delegates to which any county or legis-
lative district is entitled shall never be reduced by more than one
delegate from whatever number of delegates it had on January 1,
1962. If in the cumulative application of the formula from time to
time, a county or legislative district would lose a total of two or
more delegates from whatever number it had on January 1, 1962,
a number of delegates shall be added to the representation of that
county or legislative district as necessary to bring its number of
delegates to a total which is one less than it had on January 1, 1962.
The total membership of the House of Delegates shall then be in-
creased over the stated number of one hundred and twenty-three
(123) delegates by whatever number of delegates is necessary from
time to time to conform to the requirements of this sub-section. "
