In order to determine the rotation by which such first body of commissioners shall go out of office, the commissioners shall within one month after the passing of the special Act (or after the first election of commissioners, as the case may be,) meet at some convenient place for the purpose of forming a rotation list; and at such meeting the clerk, or some person to be then appointed for that purpose by the commissioners, shall write the names of all the commissioners on separate slips of paper, all as nearly as may be of equal size, and having folded them up in the same manner he shall put them into a balloting box, and shall, in the presence of the meeting, draw out such slips of paper in succession, and the names upon the slips so drawn shall be written by the clerk or other person in a list in the order in which they are drawn, or, where the commissioners are elected for wards or other electoral divisions of the town, (and which electoral divisions are herein-after called wards,) in as many lists as there are wards or electoral divisions, and in the order aforesaid, each list containing the names of the commissioners for one such ward or electoral division only; and every such list shall be kept by the clerk among the papers of the commissioners, and the names therein shall be numbered consecutively, and the commissioners shall retire from office in the order in which their names appear on such list or lists, as the case may be, in the proportions herein-before or in the special Act mentioned.
