 board  shall be for six years; provided, however, that any member chosen
 to fill a vacancy occurring otherwise than by expiration of  term  shall
 be  appointed for the remainder of the unexpired term of the member whom
 he is to succeed. In the event of the inability to act  of  any  member,
 the  governor  may  appoint some competent informed person to act in his
 stead during the continuance of such disability.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
