appointment. At the expiration of each of said terms, the county
governing body shall, at a meeting held not later than one month
prior to June first in each year in which a vacancy occurs, appoint

the district is created, for a term of six years, to succeed the member
whose term expires on the June first next succeeding.

first in each year in which a vacancy occurs, be made by said govern-
ing body for a term of six years from June first next succeeding.
