   Section 1. Subdivision 1 of section 10-1012 of  the  village  law,  as

 such nominations to be made on the day of the meeting by a vote  of  the
 duly  qualified  members of the department, in which case the meeting of
 the delegates in general convention, as provided for  in  this  section,
 shall  be dispensed with. The person acting as secretary of such conven-
