circulation in the Regional District. In Prince George's County,

ment, or extension or addition thereto shall be by resolution of the
commission carried by the affirmative votes of not less than six mem-
bers of the commission of whom not less than three members shall be

rately enumerated and specifically set forth with the reasons therefor
stated in the commission's resolution of adoption. The resolution on
the adoption of the plan shall refer expressly to the maps and
descriptive and other matter intended by the commission to form
