SPIRO T. AGNEW, Governor                        829

call upon the State central committee for the county or city, as the
case may be, for a supplemental list of at least four names as pro-
vided in subsection (d) hereof, from which list the Governor shall
make successive appointments until the original and supplemental
list are entirely exhausted.

Appointments of regular and substitute members of boards shall
be made subject to confirmation by the Senate of Maryland, except
as provided in this subsection. In Caroline, Dorchester and Kent
counties, at any time when there is no Senator elected from any one
of these counties who is a resident of the particular county, the
confirmation in such case shall be made by the House of Delegates
of Maryland.

2-2. Oath; organization; tenure.

Before entering upon the duties of their office, members of the
board shall each take and subscribe to the oath prescribed in Article
1, Section 6 of the Constitution, which oath shall be taken before
and duly recorded by the clerk of the circuit court for the county
or of the Superior Court of Baltimore City, as the case may be.
Within twenty days after their appointments become effective, the
members of the board for each county and for the City of Balti-
more, respectively, shall organize as a board by electing one of their
members as president. They shall each hold office for four years
or until their successors are appointed and qualified, unless sooner
removed for good cause shown. From and after the date of expira-
tion of the terms of members of all boards in office as of June 1, 1967,
one member shall be appointed for a term of two years, one for a

term of three years, and one for a term of four years. As the

term of each member expires his successor and each member there
after shall be appointed for a term of four years. The Governor
shall have power to remove them at any time upon written charges,
after notice and hearing. Each board shall have the right and au-
thority to procure an official seal with which to authenticate its
official papers and documents.
