Governor's Proclamation Declaring the Result of the Election

of November 8, 1960, for Referendum

Baltimore County

Whereas, under authority contained in Article XVI of the Consti-
tution of Maryland, the Secretary of State, was legally and duly
petitioned by the qualified voters of Baltimore County, Maryland, to
submit to the qualified voters of said County for their adoption or
rejection at the Election to be held on November 8, 1960, Chapter 372
of the Acts of the General Assembly of 1959; and

Whereas, the Secretary of State, acting under the authority con-
tained in said Article XVI of the Constitution of the State, did at said
election of November 8, 1960, so submit the said Act to the qualified
voters of Baltimore County, Maryland; and

Whereas, from the returns of said election transmitted to me as
required by the provisions of Article XVI of the Constitution, it
appears that:

For the adoption of Chapter 372 aforesaid, 22,424 votes were cast
and against the adoption thereof, 96,038 votes were cast in
said County.

Now, Therefore, I, J. Millard Tawes, Governor of Maryland,
do by this my Proclamation issued under the authority and direction
contained in said Article XVI of the Constitution, hereby declare and
proclaim that in Baltimore County, Maryland, a majority of the votes
having been cast against the adoption of the said referred law, Chapter
372 of the Acts of 1959, the same has failed of adoption and ratifica-
tion and, therefore, under the provisions of Article XVI of the Consti-
tution, stands rejected by a majority of the qualified voters of Balti-
more County.

Given Under my Hand and the Great Seal of the State of
Maryland, Done at the City of Annapolis, this 1st
day of December In the Year of Our Lord, One
Thousand Nine Hundred and Sixty.
