section (e), the number of delegates to which any county or legis-
lative district is entitled shall never be reduced by more than one
delegate from whatever number of delegates it had on January 1,
1962. If in the application of the formula a county or legislative
district would lose two or more delegates from whatever number it
had on January 1, 1962, a number of delegates shall be added to
the representation of that county or legislative district as necessary
to bring its number of delegates to a total which is one less than it
had on January 1, 1962. From time to time the total membership
of the House of Delegates shall be increased over the stated number
of one hundred and twenty-three (123) delegates by whatever
number of delegates is necessary to conform to the requirements of
