| trustees shall cease
to contain one or more municipalities with | 10 |
| a population over 90,000 but
less than 500,000 according to the | 11 |
| most recent Federal census, then, for
so long as that sanitary | 12 |
| district does not contain one or more such
municipalities,
on | 13 |
| or before the second Monday in April of each year the | 14 |
| appropriate appointing
authority shall
appoint one trustee | 15 |
| whose term shall be for 3 years commencing the first
Monday in | 16 |
| May of the year in which he is appointed. In districts which
| 17 |

or more incorporated cities, towns, or villages, all | 19 |
| of the trustees shall
not be from one incorporated city, town | 20 |
| or village.
| 21 |

| appropriate appointing
authority shall within 60 days appoint a | 23 |
| trustee who shall hold office for
the remainder of the vacated | 24 |
| term.
| 25 |

| 10 |
| district, or which shall be sold for taxes or assessments, or | 11 |
| by virtue
of legal process at the suit of the district. | 12 |
| Provided, that nothing
herein shall be construed as prohibiting | 13 |

any person as trustee or | 14 |
