I, C. Stanley Blair, Secretary Of State Of The State Of

DO HEREBY CERTIFY, that at the General Election held in the

of the Acts of 1967, was submitted to the voters of the State of
Maryland pursuant to the provisions of Article 14 of the Constitution

"An Act to propose an amendment to Article III of the Con-
stitution of Maryland, title 'Legislative Department,' by

land for their adoption or rejection."
