to close schools whenever, in
his judgment, anything aside

from the floor by Republican

authority to close other schools.

The 81 votes represented the
SO votes Of Baltimore City and
six votes each from Montgom-

In the 123-member House,

Under reapportionment,
Montgomery and Pr in e

would be given at least-12 dele
gates, and Baltimore County,
10. Baltimore City would IN
crease its representation by
only a few delegates.
Delegate Marvin Mandel,

to call the convention. which
was approved by 4-to-1 ma
