ANNOTATION

Sources: No specific source.

Purposes: Vacancies in appointive offices for a term are filled by appointment for the balance of unexpired terms so as to preserve the system of staggered appointments where they are required, and otherwise so as not to impose on a succeeding appointing power hold-over appointees. Vacancies in appointive offices are to be filled in the same manner as original appointments.
