City of Baltimore as Mayor of Baltimore, and in any
County as the President or Chairman of the County Council
of the County, and all references in the Constitution and

Council of the City of Baltimore or to the County Commis-
sioners of the Counties, shall be construed to refer to
the Mayor of Baltimore and City Council of the City of

nances proposed shall be published once a week for two
