Whereas, Under authority contained in Article XVI of the Con-
stitution of Maryland, the Secretary of State, was legally and duly
petitioned by the qualified voters of Cecil County, Maryland, to submit
to the qualified voters of said County for their adoption or rejection
at the Election to be held on November 5, 1968, Chapter 256 of the
Acts of the General Assembly of 1967; and

Whereas, the Secretary of State, acting under the authority
contained in said Article XVI of the Constitution of the State, did
at the said election of November 5, 1968, so submit the said Act to
the qualified voters of Cecil 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 256 aforesaid 2,270 votes were
cast and against the adoption thereof, 5,893 votes were cast
in said County.

Now, Therefore, I, Spiro T. Agnew, 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 Cecil County, Maryland, a majority of the votes
having been cast against the adoption of the said referred law, Chap-
ter 256 of the Acts of 1967, the same has failed of adoption and
ratification and, therefore, under the provisions of Article XVI of the
Constitution, stands rejected by a majority of the qualified voters of
Cecil County.

Given Under My Hand and the Great Seal of the State of
Maryland, Done at the City of Annapolis this 4th Day
of December, in the Year of Our Lord, One Thousand
