A Guide to the Records of the Mayor and City Council at the Baltimore City Archives
Governing Baltimore: A Guide to the Records of the Mayor and City Council at the Baltimore City Archives William G. LeFurgy, Susan Wertheimer David, and Richard J. Cox Baltimore City Archives and Records Management Office Department of Legislative Reference 1981 Table of Contents Preface i History of the Mayor and City Council 1 Scope and Content 3 Series Descriptions 5 Bibliography 18 Appendix: Mayors of Baltimore 19 Index 20 1 Preface Sweeping changes occurred in Baltimore society, commerce, and government during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. From incorporation in 1796 the municipal government's evolution has been indicative of this process. From its inception the city government has been dominated by the mayor and city council. The records of these chief administrative units, spanning nearly the entire history of Baltimore, are among the most significant sources for this city's history. This guide is the product of a two year effort in arranging and describing the mayor and city council records funded by the National Historical Publications and Records Commission. These records are the backbone of the historical records of the municipal government which now total over three thousand cubic feet and are available for researchers. The publication of this guide, and three others available on other records, is preliminary to a guide to the complete holdings of the Baltimore City Archives scheduled for publication in 1983. During the last two years many debts to individuals were accumulated. First and foremost is my gratitude to the staff of the NHPRC, most especially William Fraley and Larry Hackman, who made numerous suggestions regarding the original proposal and assisted with problems that appeared during the project. -
Garitee V. Mayor and City Council of Baltimore: a Gilded Age Debate on the Role and Limits of Local Government
Garitee v. Mayor and City Council of Baltimore: A Gilded Age Debate on the Role and Limits of Local Government Kevin Attridge JD Candidate, May 2010 University of Maryland School of Law James Risk MA Candidate, History, May 2011 University of Maryland, Baltimore County Attridge & Risk - 1 I. Introduction In 1877, William L. Garitee brought suit against the city of Baltimore in what would become a pivotal case in public nuisance for the state of Maryland. Four years earlier, Daniel Constantine, a city contractor, began dumping in the Patapsco River between Colgate Creek and Sollers Point. The dredge came from the excavation of Baltimore’s Inner Harbor and improvements being made to the Jones Falls Canal. Constantine’s dumping directly affected William Garitee’s ability to conduct business from his wharf because the dumping reduced the depth of the river, making it impossible to access Garitee’s dock by ship. After making several attempts to get the city to stop dumping, Garitee was forced to file suit against the city. The Superior Court for Baltimore City decided the case in favor of the city, a decision Garitee appealed. The appeal was heard in the March term of 1880 by the Maryland Court of Appeals. Under Judge Richard Henry Alvey, the Court overturned the lower court’s decision and remanded the case to allow Garitee to proceed with his public nuisance claim and award damages. Politically, Garitee v. Mayor and City Council of Baltimore was part of the larger on- going debate on the role of government. During the Gilded Age, the Federal Government assumed a laissez-faire stance toward business, but the Progressive Era that immediately followed witnessed a restraint of business through the passage of the Sherman Antitrust Act and the trust-busting administration of President Theodore Roosevelt. -

Fiscal Year 2014 Annual Report
FISCAL YEAR 2014 ANNUAL REPORT 1 Table of Contents Letter from the Chairman & President 3 Working For Baltimore’s Waterfront 4 Keeping the Harbor 7 Clean, Safe, and Beautiful Creating Exciting Events, Active Programming, 8 and Engaging Parks Creating a Healthier Harbor 10 Building Awareness 12 Planning for the Future 13 Financials 14 Sponsors 15 Board of Directors 16 Management Authority Board 17 Staff 18 2 Our Commitment: A Destination to Inspire the World Next year Waterfront Partnership will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. Looking back, we are inspired by all that has been accomplished. We are filled with gratitude for our partners, especially the property and business owners, who have helped make this organization a success. It is humbling to be responsible for a destination that caters to over fourteen million visitors a year. The level of business, corporate, and philanthropic support we continue to receive is remarkable and has allowed us to grow our capacity and expand our vision for a Baltimore Harbor that is charming, safe, lively, and accessible to all. 2014 was a keystone year for Waterfront Partnership, during which we laid the foundation for the years ahead. For decades, cities around the world looked to replicate the triumph of our Inner Harbor. After forty years, however, the Harbor is showing its age and Baltimore is in danger of falling behind these doppelgangers. To ensure that our City continues to be the global leader in waterfront destinations for another generation, this past year we initiated and led the creation of Inner Harbor 2.0. With funding and support from the Greater Baltimore Committee, this new Master Plan has already received over $20 million in early financial commitments from City and State government. -

Rg 1 Baltimore Town Commissioners (1729-97)
RG 1 BALTIMORE TOWN COMMISSIONERS (1729-97) RG. 1 BALTIMORE TOWN COMMISSIONERS 1729-1797 The Baltimore Town Commissioners was created in 1729 as part of the legislative act for "erecting" Baltimore Town. The body consisted of seven commissioners, appointed for life, empowered to buy land, survey and sell lots, and settle disputes about property boundaries. The commission was the sole vestige of town government until the early 1780*s. In 1745 when Jones Town merged with Baltimore, the commissioners were given the authority to procure a three pound annual assessment from residents. In 1784 they were empowered to erect street lamps and have them lighted, to appoint constables and watchmen, to levy a tax on property, and to appoint a treasurer. Between 1784 and 1793 the commissioners were authorized justices of the peace. Occasionally special duties were assigned to them by the Maryland Legislature, including construction of market houses, maintenance of streets, and other special assessments and taxes. By the early 1780!s the commissioners shared their light administrative responsibilities with a Board of Special Commissioners and a Board of Port Wardens. The state government formed the latter two bodies in 1782 and 1783 respectively. They made up the remainder of the town's self government until its incorporation in 1796. The Special Commissioners were largely responsible for the construction and maintenance of streets and bridges. The Board of Port Wardens regulated the construction of wharves, surveyed the harbor, and supervised the collection of a duty on all vessels entering and leaving the port. Despite the three boards, essential government functions remained in Annapolis with the state government. -

From Downtown to the Inner Harbor: Baltimore's Sustainable Revitalization Part 2: the Inner Harbor Plan (1967 to 2005)
FOCUS 14 Essays From Downtown to the Inner Harbor: Baltimore's Sustainable Revitalization Part 2: The Inner Harbor Plan (1967 to 2005) Vicente del Rio PhD; Professor, City and Regional Planning Department, Cal Poly. Baltimore's effective revitalization efforts are internationally recognized in planning and urban design. After the successful Charles Center redevelopment plan in the late 1950s, Baltimore's efforts expanded to its Inner Harbor and waterfront. In this sequel to a two-part article that started in FOCUS 13, Vicente del Rio discusses these later efforts, and how Baltimore ensured a process for sustainable economic, social, and cultural revitalization.
