AN ACT to repeal Sections 467 to 474, inclusive, of the Code of Pub-
lic Local Laws of Baltimore City (1949 Edition, being Article 4 of
the Code of Public Local Laws of Maryland), title "Baltimore
City," subtitles "Legislative Districts—Wards" and "Councilmanic

tricts; and

City concurs in the repeal of these sections; now, therefore

lic Local Laws of Maryland), title "Baltimore City," subtitles "Legis-
lative Districts—Wards" and "Councilmanic and Legislative Dis-
tricts," Section 474 thereof having been last amended by Chapter 1 of
