the members as herein provided. It shall consist of a chairman,
appointed by the mayor of the city of Yonkers, and four other members,
who shall also be appointed by the mayor. The appointment of the
chairman shall be for a term of five years and of each of the other
members for terms of one, two, three and four years from the first day
of April, nineteen hundred sixty-four. At the expiration of such terms,
the terms of office of their successors shall be five years so that the
term of office of one-fifth of such members shall expire on the

serve until the appointment and qualification of his successor.
Vacancies in such board occurring otherwise than by the expiration of
such term, shall be filled for the unexpired term. The members of the

upon not less than ten days' notice. The members of the board shall be
entitled to no compensation for their services but shall be entitled to
reimbursement for their actual and necessary expenses incurred in the

thereafter until all its liabilities have been met and its bonds have
been paid in full or such liabilities or bonds have otherwise been
discharged. Upon its ceasing to exist, all its rights and properties
shall pass to the city.
