The purpose of the MARYLAND MANUAL is to present in concise form to the citizens of Maryland a description and accounting of their government. Since it is a publication of the State, the emphasis is on the agencies of the State Government; that part having to do with local govern- ments is not intended to be more than a directory. Sketches of individual governmental agencies contain, at the very least, evidence of the legal status of the agency, its functions, the name of the administrator and the members of any governing body or commission, the number of persons employed, appropriations for fiscal years 1955 and 1956. A list of current publications of all agencies is given in a separate section. The cooperation of many State agencies is gratefully acknowledged. Special mention is due the following: James P. Brock and Mary L. Wilson of the Secretary of State’s Office; Carl N. Everstine, Director of the De- partment of Legislative Reference, who cared for changes in the Constitu- tion; Janet L. Hoffman of the Fiscal Research Bureau, who prepared the governmental chart; William H. Bayliff, who brought up to date “Maryland at a Glance.” In one way or another most of the staff members of the Hall of Records have a hand in preparing or publishing the MANUAL. Ultimately, all of it goes through the hands of John P. Hively whose special assignment it is. The greater part of the typing was done by Rose Mary DiStefano. The Index was prepared by Edna E. Jensen. The pictures of the Governor, the members of the General Assembly and the Court of Appeals are by Marion E. Warren; all the others were furnished by State agencies which built or have in charge the structures shown.

He was the 1953 "Man of the Year,” selected and cited by the advertising Club of Baltimore, and was awarded that year’s citation of the National Conference of Christians and Jews for his accomplishments in the interests of Brotherhood and “an enduring democracy.” He also is the recipient of the 1954 Annual Award of the National Federation of Jewish Men’s Clubs, the citation of the Massachusetts Committee of Catholics, Protestants and Jews; the Houston (Texas) Jewish Community Council Plaque, and the DeMolay Legion of Honor Medal. At the Republican National Convention of 1952 in Chicago, he delivered the address that placed the name of General Dwight D. Eisenhower in nomination for President of the United States. He has been named Chairman of the Rules Committee for the 1956 Republican National Convention in San Francisco. He was Mayor of Baltimore from 1943 to 1947, and was elected Governor of Maryland in 1950 by the largest majority ever given any candidate for that office. He was reelected in 1954—the first member of his party ever to win a second gubernatorial term. A lifelong Republican, his first public position was that of Secretary to Mayor William F. Broening of Baltimore. As Mayor of Baltimore, he was responsible for many governmental re- forms and improvements, including the revision and modernization of the then antiquated City Charter. Important projects of the improvement of the city’s physical plant also were launched during his administration, including the great Friendship International Airport, the big Patapsco River addition to the water supply system, the new tuberculosis wing at the City Hospitals, the Civic Center in the City Hall area which includes the new People’s Court, widespread health center and school construction. He also inaugurated the Baltimore Plan of slum clearance which has at- tracted considerable attention throughout the world. His first term in the Governorship was highlighted by inauguration of a long-range program for complete modernization and extension of the Maryland highway system; the authorization and planning of new State Office Buildings for Baltimore and Annapolis; replacement of the antiquated State budget methods with the modern program system of appropriations; reforms in purchasing, accounting and control; comprehensive and systema- tic salary increases for public school teachers; expansion of the State system of hospitals; inauguration of advanced methods of treatment for mental illnesses, tuberculosis, and chronic ailments; beginning of a group of clinics for alcoholism; adoption of Home Rule for municipalities; planning and financing for the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel, now under construction as the greatest project of engineering ever undertaken by the State. The Governor is an Episcopalian and a Lay Reader of the Episcopal Church. He has taught a Methodist Bible Class and has been superin- tendent of an Episcopal Sunday School. He has preached lay sermons in churches of many denominations from New England to Texas. Governor McKeldin’s present address is Government House, Annapolis, Maryland.

HISTORICAL SKETCH OF MARYLAND Exploration John Cabot, a man of Italian birth employed by the Eng- lish, was, in all probability, the first white man to see Maryland as he sailed along the eastern shore of Worcester County in 1498. Twenty-six years later Giovanni da Ver- razano, who was another Italian working for French inter- ests, passed the mouth of Chesapeake Bay. Half a century later the Bay was explored by Pedro Menendez Marques, the governor of Spanish Florida. In 1603 Captain Bartholomew Gilbert made a more careful exploration. The intrepid Captain John Smith, who saw many other parts of North America, began in 1608 to carry out the in- structions of the London Virginia Company to “find some spring which runs the contrary way toward the East India sea.” With fourteen companions in “an open barge of two tunnes burden,” Smith started up the Chesapeake. Every inlet and bay “fit for harbours and habitations” was en- tered, and all the islands were inspected. The results were incorporated in what Smith called “A Map of Virginia,” published in England in 1612. Reprinted many times shortly thereafter, the map shows that Smith’s voyagers paid close attention to the Eastern Shore, examined the Potomac carefully, but had a hazy idea of the western head of the Bay and only a generalized notion of the lower West- ern Shore. In 1670, Lord Baltimore authorized Augustine Herman, a cartographer living in the New Netherlands Colony, to prepare a more detailed map of Maryland.
Aborigines To John Smith, also, we owe our first knowledge of the pre-European settlers on the land of what was later Maryland. Smith’s account is bewildering with Indian names; one soon recognizes the adaptations of these same queer-sounding names in present-day Maryland. The Vir- ginia explorer speaks of Yingoteagues, Assateagues, Ma- rumscos, Annamesses, Wiccocomicos, Nanticokes, Conoys, Trasquakins, Choptanks, Monoponsons, Matapeakes, Ozin- ies, Tockwoghes, Nattwas, Susquehannocks, Conestogas, Piscattoways, Chopticos, Mattawomans, Patuxents, Aqua- socks, Secowocomocos, and others. Despite this multiplicity of names, all these Indians were of Algonquin stock, save for the Susquehannocks at the headwaters of the Bay and the Anacostans on territory around present-day Washing- ton. Invading tribes, who made forays from' the North and at times lived on Maryland territory, were of the Five 15 16 MARYLAND MANUAL
Nations—Senecas and Iroquois. Later history records raids by other tribes of Indians, accompanied by violence and massacres, generally in western Maryland.
The “Ark” and the “Dove” The Maryland colony was planned by the first Lord Baltimore—George Calvert, a Yorkshireman whose devo- tion to James I had first made him Secretary of State, later Baron of Baltimore (1624), and finally given him a grant of land for a colony in Newfoundland. This cold territory Calvert called “Avalon” or “Ferryland”; but intense cold and invading French made the territory untenable. In 1627 Lord Baltimore attempted to live in Avalon with his family; then he left for the warmer climate of Virginia. His inten- tion was “to plant himself to the southward,” but on his return to England, Lord Baltimore persuaded Charles I, James’ successor, to give him a charter of his own composi- tion. On presentation to the King, blanks were left for the name of the colony and the date. It is said that Charles filled in the name Terra Mariae to honor his queen, Hen- rietta Maria. Before June 20, 1632, when the charter was dated, George, the first Lord Baltimore, died and was succeeded by his son, Cecil. The second Lord Baltimore organized the expedition to Maryland in two vessels, the Ark of 360 tons, and the Dove of 60 tons. Assisting him was the Jesuit priest, Father Andrew White, for Cecil, as his father had been since 1624, was a Roman Catholic. Father White, with two members of the Calvert family (not including the Proprietor), sailed from Cowes on the Isle of Wight on November 22, 1633. How many took passage and how many were Catholics we do not know. We do know that one hundred and twenty-eight took the oath of supremacy which Catholics normally refused to accept. However, the Ark alone was twice the size of the Mayflower, which had carried over one hundred passengers. January 1634 saw the two vessels at the Barbados where they delayed for twenty days. On February 24th Leonard Calvert, as lieutenant-general, put in at Point Comfort, Virginia. The first stop within the limits placed by the charter—“from Watkin’s Point unto that part . . . which lieth under the fortieth degree of north latitude”—was at St. Clement’s Island. The celebration of Mass here on An- nunciation Day has fixed for tradition March 25th as the date of arrival of Maryland’s first settlers, as well as the name, St. Mary’s City. Some time after that the Yoaco- MARYLAND MANUAL 17 maco Indians, holding the coveted territory, sold their pos- sessions to the newcomers, and the first site, called then “Augusta Carolina,” was available. A palisade was erected immediately.
Government from St. Mary’s City For upwards of sixty years, the Province centered around St. Mary’s City. The Assembly, set up very soon after a food supply had been assured and protection against enemies provided, was made up of the freemen, i.e., plant- ers and settlers. The combined efforts of all the settlers were needed, moreover, to cope with the almost immediate difficulty that arose with white settlers from Virginia who had begun trading with the Indians before the Calvert party arrived. The foremost among these men was Cap- tain William Claiborne, a trader with headquarters on Kent Island. The dispute is sometimes known as the Cal- vert-Claiborne controversy. After a naval skirmish and slight loss of life, Claiborne was declared an outlaw March 24, 1637. “Ingle’s War” was another vexation in the peaceful order- ing of the new colony. Richard Ingle was a vigorous parti- san of Parliament in its victorious struggle with the King that was to produce the Commonwealth. Coming first to Maryland in 1642, he finally exceeded any legal powers he might have had and took possession of St. Mary’s City, making prisoner members of the Assembly. The affair ended inconclusively in 1646, but Ingle, meanwhile, arrested Father White and Father Copley and took them in chains to England.
Act of Toleration The bigotry implicit in Ingle’s special irritation at Cath- olic priests and Royalists makes especially pointed the solici- tude Lord Baltimore showed at this period for freedom of conscience. As early as 1643, the Puritan Governor of Massachusetts, John Winthrop, had spoken approvingly of Governor Calvert as “for free liberty of religion.” The Governor had taken a more liberal attitude on the question of Puritan settlers, surely, than had the administrators of Virginia. The “Act concerning Religion” which the Mary- land Assembly passed in 1649 gives Maryland rightful claim to being the first civil regime to recognize freedom of con- science. The fact that within sixty years after the passage of this law Catholics were repressed under an “Act to pre- vent the growth of popery” does not detract from the bold- 18 MARYLAND MANUAL
ness of Lord Baltimore’s action in the mid-seventeenth cen- tury. The downfall of Charles I and the rise of the Common- wealth were more serious events for the Maryland resi- dents than for other colonists in America. But Oliver Cromwell left Lord Baltimore in undisturbed charge of the Province until 1652. Emboldened by this, Governor William Stone attempted to reduce the Puritan settlements on the Severn but came close to losing his life by execution after a decisive victory for the settlers in Providence (near present-day Annapolis).
Growth and Expansion The newcomers to other parts of the geographical charter limits of the Province, Proprietary, or Palatinate (as it was sometimes called) were not so bellicose as those in Providence. Settlement soon went far afield from the old Yoacomaco village. By the end of the seventeenth century eleven counties had established themselves, each with its court and complement of officials. The towns were few; great estates abounded, whose river fronts were centers of trade and traffic. The chief commerce was in tobacco, which even substituted for currency during much of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Until customhouse centers were set up (1683), there was nothing to challenge the power of the landed gentry. Gradually what Indian troubles had existed were smoothed out by treaties, such as the one of 1652 when the _ Susquehannocks submitted under the “Liberty Tree” (said to be the tulip poplar still to be seen on the St. John’s College campus in Annapolis). The Proprietors were always a line of Calverts with the title “Lord Baltimore” until the death of the sixth and last baron in 1771 when Henry Harford, the natural son of Frederick Calvert, became the seventh Proprietor. In the time of James II, who desired to have all lands under the Crown, and again in the “Revolution” (before William and Mary held the throne securely), the Calverts had difficulties, but these were not reflected in any disadvantage to the Province. Neither the virtual outlawry of the Proprietors, 1691 to 1715, nor the establishment of the Church of England as the “official” re- ligion proved too disturbing. If Puritanism waned, there was certainly room made for the settlement of other dissent- ers, notably Quakers. The three most significant changes in the seventeenth century were the establishment of a printing press—William Nuthead’s-—the departure of the MARYLAND MANUAL 19
Governor and Assembly from St. Mary’s to Annapolis, and the passage of the “Act for the encouragement of Learning” (October 18, 1694). This last was the prelude to the opening of King William’s School, the third institu- tion of its sort in the colonies. As the new century appeared, about 35,000 people made up the population of Maryland. Nearly twenty per cent of these were Negro slaves—slavery having been established within five years after settlement. Another large group were “bound men,” or indentured servants. Many of the latter soon became “redemptioners” and often, in time, the owners of extensive property.
After the “Restoration” With the restoration of proprietary rights, April 15, 1715, Charles Calvert, Fifth Lord Baltimore, resumed con- trol of the colony. Since he was a minor at that time, and in later life primarily interested in English politics, devel- opment in Maryland lacked rigorous control from without. Furthermore, a strong “County,” as separate from a Pro- prietary, party manifested itself in the General Assembly. Significant among the expansionist movements in Charles Calvert’s time were the founding of a settlement at Balti- more Town (July 30, 1729) and the beginnings of Western Maryland (1735). Swedes and Dutch on the Delaware River, having found the Maryland charter’s geographical limits vague, pressed for a boundary line. In 1732 this was established for Delaware, but at the other limitations final boundary judgments had to wait till the early twentieth century. One of the consequences of dispute with Pennsyl- vania was a survey in 1763 by two Englishmen, Jeremiah Dixon and Charles Mason, for whom the line marking the northern boundary of Maryland was named.
Frontier Development and Warfare In Western Maryland, boundary disputes made for vio- lence; therefore, Thomas Cresap, Maryland’s heroic fron- tiersman, figures as an outlaw in Pennsylvania’s history. In this same quarter warfare flared, not only sporadically with Indians, but also systematically when the French, making claim to Western Empire, began to drive out the traders of the Ohio Company. As this trading venture was largely Virginian in character, the Maryland Assembly was stern against Governor Horatio Sharpe and refused to vote funds or raise troops. Edward Braddock, the British general deputed to drive back the French, operated within 20 MARYLAND MANUAL
Western Maryland, but even his rout and death in 1755 failed to spur Maryland during the final five years of the war.
Prelude to Revolution The accession in 1751 of Frederick Calvert, a “gay young blade,” to the title of Lord Baltimore meant less interfer- ence from the Proprietor; therefore Marylanders trans- ferred their complaints against the Proprietary to the Brit- ish Government. Conflict between French and English only sharpened the point. Debts to English merchants, lack of a proper colonial currency, and taxes on imports led Mary- land, _ this time in common with other colonies, to take drastic action. Maryland takes credit for first refusing to pay taxes under the Stamp Act; actual repudiation took place in Frederick County on November 23, 1765. The Townshend Acts were repealed in 1770 but a strong feeling of rebellion remained. Support of Boston was vigorous after that port was closed; and the Boston Tea Party of December 16, 1773, had its Maryland counterpart when a tea ship, the Peggy Stewart, was burned in Annapolis har- bor on October 19, 1774. Maryland played leading roles in both the First and Second Continental Congresses and in the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Revolutionary action on a national scale had been foreshadowed by the Maryland “Association of Freemen.”
The Revolutionary War From the first skirmish in Boston to the surrender at Yorktown, Maryland soldiers saw service. Despite alarms, only once did the British—by water at Vienna—invade Maryland soil. Pulaski’s Legion was organized in Baltimore, Baron de Kalb and Lafayette spent some time in Maryland, and here it was that in 1783 the Continental Congress met. George Washington passed into civilian life in the Senate Chamber of the State House at Annapolis on December 23, 1783. The Treaty of Paris ending the war was ratified in Annapolis three weeks later on January 14, 1784. The Maryland capital again played a part in the national scene by entertaining delegates from New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania and Virginia who met in Annapolis September 11-14, 1786; though Maryland did not partici- pate, delegates from the five other states expressed concern about certain phases of the federal constitution then in the process of formulation. On April 28, 1788, Maryland rati- MARYLAND MANUAL 21 fled the constitution, the seventh state to endorse a docu- ment which, through her leadership in the revision of the Articles of Confederation, she had done much to formulate. Because of the exhaustion of the tobacco lands, serious agricultural problems remained. Slavery was becoming a burden, and currency problems vexed Maryland’s economic life. In the formation of a new nation, Maryland did its part by sacrificing its territory and advancing money for public buildings to form the District of Columbia (1791). To offset some of the difficulties, Baltimore had grown un- til it was five times as great as Annapolis, the flourishing port of the “Golden Age.” Early in the new century ex- ports from Maryland ports reached the $14,000,000 mark. The Second British Conflict This shipping was, however, seriously hampered by Brit- ish policy. Finally British interference with our vessels and crews brought on the War of 1812. Fighting began in Canada but was soon carried south by the British. From 1813 Maryland bore the brunt of the war. British troops routed our forces at Bladensburg and then proceeded to Washington where they burned the public buildings. But their defeats at North Point and Fort McHenry prevented them from capturing Baltimore. During the bombardment of Fort McHenry, a Marylander, Francis Scott Key, was inspired to write the “Star Spangled Banner.”
The War Between The States After 1815 the State went on more vigorous than ever. A national “pike” was completed to Ohio, two canals and a railroad were put in operation, and Baltimore increased enormously in population. By sharing the industrial and commercial interests of the North and West, Marylanders were put in a peculiar position when the secessionist move- ment began. On July 18, 1859, State troops helped in the suppression of the rebellion at Harper’s Ferry (“John Brown’s raid”) but two years later some Baltimoreans at- tacked the Sixth Massachusetts Regiment on its way through the city to relieve Washington. Enraged poetical comment on this event by a Marylander, James Ryder Ran- dall, produced the State song, “Maryland, My Maryland.” Maryland remained in the Union, but many a Confederate soldier was also recruited in the State. Lee occupied Fred- erick, and later in the war occurred the Battles of South Mountain, Antietam and Monocacy. Unionist sympathizers held the state government in line, and, in 1864, modified the Constitution to abolish slavery. 22 MARYLAND MANUAL
Years of Peace Between the end of the war and the beginning of the next century, the boom in industry and commerce brought business to Baltimore and the State, an increase in rail and water facilities, and made large philanthropies possible. Three of these, the gift in 1857 of $1,400,000 by a one-time Baltimore resident, George Peabody, who had made a for- tune in England; the endowment of a university by the merchant, Johns Hopkins (1876), and the gift of a public library in 1882 by Enoch Pratt benefited the State as well as its largest city. Even the $125,000,000 fire which began February 7, 1904, did not retard Baltimore’s progress; the population increased with every decade.
Later History The story of the twentieth century in Maryland is largely one of detailed statistics. As Baltimore forged ahead to be the sixth city in the country, the State ranked only twenty-fourth in point of population. In World War I approximately 75,000 of its citizens represented the State’s service in the conflict. The martial activities of the LTnited States also appeared in the many Federal establishments on Maryland soil, of which the United States Naval Academy (Annapolis), opened in 1845, is the oldest. Fort George G. Meade occupied over 7,500 acres near Odenton; the United States Army had a proving ground at Aberdeen and an arsenal at Edgewood. Between wars, Maryland assumed a forward-looking atti- tude^ Legislation was enacted to create old-age and mother’s pensions, to give aid to dependent children and to assist the needy blind. In World War II about 250,000 Marylanders served. More than ever before, state industrial power—particularly that devoted to the building of ships and aircraft—fought the “Battle of Materials.” Fort Meade was enlarged and rebuilt; at Port Deposit the Navy placed its extensive training center, Camp Bainbridge; Andrews Air Force Base in Prince George’s County and the United States Naval Air Station at Patuxent were set up. The first airway access (1919) to Baltimore was at Logan Field; the first passengers by air came twelve years later. By 1941 a Municipal Airport was in full operation. Such attempts were dwarfed by an ambitious plan for a large airport, work on which commenced May 1, 1947. On June 24, 1950, the Friendship International Airport opened, a MARYLAND MANUAL 23
3,200 acre field providing for air travel to all parts of the globe. At a cost of $15,000,000, Baltimore had one of the largest airports in the United States. A great road and bridge building program began with the end of World War II. Agreements reached in 1947 to survey ground and water for a bridge over the Chesapeake made probable an ambitious scheme, talked of for over forty years. On November 3, 1949, the first actual work on such a bridge began, culminating in its opening July 30, 1952. The result is a four-mile structure (over seven if approach roads are considered) with suspension spans al- lowing for craft to a height of 187 feet. Nearly two thou- sand vehicles an hour can cover the six-minute trip. A year after opening over $3,500,000 had been paid in tolls; the cost, covered by a bond issue, was $45,000,000. By Decem- ber 1952, the Washington-Annapolis Freeway was opened between Annapolis and Route 301; the new bridge across the Severn was opened in June 1953, to provide a direct link between the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and the freeway. The Baltimore-Washington Express Way was opened in its entirety early in 1954. Eventually dual highways will run between the Delaware State line and the District of Colum- bia and Virginia. Another fine road, connecting the District and Frederick, will replace Route 240. To further facilitate traffic, an under-harbor tunnel from Fairfield to Canton to cost $130,000,000 (including approach roads) is under construction. Various State institutions, particularly those for medical and mental care, have undergone great improvements. Two of the three authorized units of the chronic disease hospitals have been opened, one in Wicomico County and the other in Baltimore. The third unit, which will provide facilities for the care of the chronically ill as well as tubercular pa- tients, is under construction in Washington County. A 300- bed hospital for tubercular patients has also been provided at Mt. Wilson. A twenty-six-bed maternity ward has been opened at Miners Hospital. The University of Maryland has opened a 100-bed psychiatric institute in Baltimore. Patuxent Institution, for the custody of psychopathic de- linquents, was opened in 1955, and an institution for the criminally insane is in the planning stages. At Green Ridge State Forest, the first rehabilitation camp for delinquent youth was opened in 1955.

Benson, State Auditor, 1959 Benjamin Gary, Deputy State Auditor Kathleen Collins, Administrative Assistant 1401 Standard Oil Building, Baltimore 2 Telephone: Lexington 9-4542 The office of the State Auditor was created in 1902; it was re- organized in 1929 and has continued to operate under the law enacted 34 MARYLAND MANUAL at that time, with minor changes. The State Auditor is appointed by the Governor for a term of four years and both he and the Deputy State Auditor are required to be certified public accountants or reg- istered public accountants of Maryland. The State Auditor’s office is required to audit annually the books of all Clerks of Court, Registers of Wills, and Collectors of State Taxes of the State of Maryland, including the City of Baltimore; the Governor’s office; the Comptroller of the Treasury; the Attorney General; the Clerk of the Court of Appeals; and such other offices, departments, agencies, boards, commissions, or institutions as the Comptroller may direct.

Ward, Executive Secretary 31 Light St., Baltimore 2 Telephone: Lexington 9-1090 The State Tax Commission is composed of three members appointed by the Governor for terms of six years, one of the terms expiring every two years. One member must be a resident of the Eastern Shore, one a resident of Baltimore City, and the other a resident of one of the Western Shore counties. “Not more than two of said com- missioners shall belong to the same political party and each shall be a taxpayer and a qualified voter of this State.” (Code 1951, Art. 81, sec. 222). The State Tax Commission was created in 1914, superseding the State Tax Commissioner, an office which was estab- lished in 1878, with functions virtually limited to the assessment of the shares of domestic corporations and national banks, the gross re- ceipts of certain classes of corporations, and taxes on distilled spirits. In addition to the duties formerly exercised by the State Tax Com- missioner, the Commission is empowered to “supervise the admin- istration of the assessment and tax laws of Maryland and of each county or city thereof”; to enforce and execute a continuing method of assessment and to require that all property in the State be re- viewed for assessment each year; to act as an appellate tribunal to which all appeals from assessments of real and personal property made by local assessing bodies must be taken; to assess the operat- ing property, except land, of railroads and other public utilities and contract carriers; “to participate in any proceeding in any court wherein any assessment or taxation question is involved” (Code 1955 supp., Art. 81, sec. 230). MARYLAND MANUAL 35
The Commission appoints for each of the counties a Supervisor of Assessments, who has the status of chief assessor in the county, with power also to appeal to the Commission from any assessments or rulings made by the County Commissioners. The supervisors are appointed from a list of five nominees submitted by the County Com- missioners. They serve during good behavior and are removable by the State Tax Commission “for incompetency or other cause.” Their salaries are fixed by the Tax Commission after consultation with the respective county commissioners. The State and the counties share equally the cost of salaries. A supervisor is also appointed for Balti- more City with important duties of investigation. The Supervisor of Assessments is the chief assessor and acts as such over local as- sessors. The local assessors are appointed by the county commis- sioners for an indefinite period from a list of applicants examined and graded by the State Tax Commission. Their salaries are fixed and paid in a similar manner to those of the supervisors. The assessors review for reassessment the property in each county of Maryland each year, so that all property in each county is reviewed and re- assessed annually. The State Tax Commission has charge of the qualifications and registration of foreign corporations doing business in Maryland. In addition to collecting an annual filing fee and accounting monthly for all such collections to the Treasurer, the Commission assesses the tangible personal property of foreign corporations and distributes the proceeds to the localities in which the property is located. Char- ters and amendments to charters of domestic corporations are filed with, and recorded and approved by the Commission. (Code 1951, Art. 81, sec. 12; Art. 23, secs. 4, 11, 26). Under the income tax law, the Commission is given appellate jurisdiction from the final action of the Comptroller. The determina- tion of the Commission is prima facie evidence of the amount of tax due, but an appeal to the Court lies from the findings of the Com- mission in the manner now provided for all appeals from the Com- mission in the exercise of its appellate jurisdiction (Code 1951, Art. 81, sec. 301).

The Bank Commissioner is appointed by the Governor for a term of MARYLAND MANUAL 39
tour years. The department has general supervision over all bank- ing institutions in the State, other than national banks. It must examine each institution at least twice in eighteen months, and at such other times as the Commissioner may deem expedient and at any time upon request of the board of directors of the institution. Whenever the capital stock of an institution is reduced by impairment, and such impairment is not made good as prescribed by law, or whenever it is found that an institution is being conducted in an unsafe manner, the Bank Commissioner may take possession, as provided by law, and retain possession until it resumes business or is finally liquidated. In case of a failure of any banking institution, excepting National Banks, the Bank Commissioner acts as receiver and liquidates its assets and winds up its affairs under the jurisdiction of the Court. The Commissioner may delegate this power to the Deputy Commis- sioner or a senior examiner. Every bank and trust company is re- quired to submit to the Bank Commissioner, under oath, at least three reports in each calendar year; such reports to exhibit in detail the resources and liabilities of the institution, and show its true condition. These reports are to be published in the local newspapers. All mutual savings institutions are required to report their condition to the Commissioner on June 30 and December 31 of each year. It is the duty of the Commissioner’s office to examine each report received from the institutions under its supervision, and when necessary, to verify them, and at the same time to correct any irregularities that may be disclosed or to make any recommendations that may seem advisable. It is the further responsibility of the department to super- vise the formation of new banking institutions, to see that all re- quirements of the law have been complied with, and to issue a certifi- cate authorizing them to commence business. The Commissioner also passes upon all amendments to charters, and all consolidations and voluntary liquidations. On the tenth of February of each year, the Bank Commissioner is required to make a written report to the Gov- ernor concerning the operations of his office (Code 1951, 1955 supp., Art. 11, secs. 1-26, 28-117). The General Assembly of 1929 passed what is known as the “Credit Union Law”, which provides that any seven or more persons, residents of this State, may apply to the Bank Commissioner for permission to organize a Credit Union. The Act further provides that all Credit Unions which are approved and chartered shall be subject to the supervision of the Bank Commissioner (Code 1951, Art. 11, secs. 135-162). The department also has jurisdiction over industrial finance loan companies under the provisions of the “Industrial Finance Law” passed in 1945. The Act generally provides that no person or cor- poration may charge interest or other charges in the aggregate above that permitted by law, on loans of fifteen hundred dollars or less, if this person or corporation is not a licensee under the terms of the law. All companies and individuals transacting business under the terms of this statute must secure a license from the Bank Commis- sioner. At least once in every eighteen months, the department is_ re- quired to make an examination of each licensee; it is further required that each licensee shall submit to the Commissioner an annual report setting forth such relevant information regarding the business and its operations, as the Commissioner may reasonably require. The Bank Commissioner has the power to revoke or suspend licenses for infrac- tions of the law. The Commissioner has the power to exempt certain companies from the terms of the Act. Automatically exempted from the Industrial Finance Act are those companies and individuals who are doing business under the terms of the “Small Loan Law”, which 40 MARYLAND MANUAL is administered by the Administrator of Loan Laws (Code 1951, Art. 11, secs. 163-205).

Upon the expiration of the term of each Commissioner his successor shall be appointed by the Governor by and with the consent of the Senate for a term of six years. The Chairman, who is appointed by the Governor, has administrative supervision over the agency; the remaining four Commissioners hear cases. Hearings are held throughout the State in contested cases. It receives reports of accidents, and adjudicates claims for compen- sation arising under the law. Investigations are made of companies and firms which fail to carry insurance under the terms of the Act. (Code 1951, Art. 101, secs. 3-13; Code 1955, supp., Art. 101, secs. 1, 2). In recent years many important changes in the Workmen’s Com- pensation Act have been made by the General Assembly. Among the most important of these have been the increase of temporary MARYLAND MANUAL 47 total disability payments from $28.00 to $32.00 a week; the increase of permanent total disability awards from $32.00 weekly payments to $35.00, and the total amount from $10,000 to $12,500, the increase of total benefits to dependents from $7,500 to $10,000; the broadening of the law in hernia cases, the establishment of a Second Injury Fund, and removal of the limitations as to the payment of medical expenses. In 1951 the Act included many additional employments; also, for the first time, Maryland came to be what is known as a non-scheduled State for Occupational Diseases.
Medical Board for Occupational Diseases The Medical Board for Occupational Diseases was established in 1939. The members of the Board are appointed by the Governor, with the approval of the Senate, from a list of nominees submitted by the Deans of the schools of medicine of the University of Maryland and the Johns Hopkins University and by the Council of the Medical and Chirurgical Faculty of Maryland. Each agency submits a list of three persons, two of whom are experienced in occupational diseases, and one of whom is an experienced roentgenologist. Each appointee to the Board must be a licensed physician in good profes- sional standing, two of whom shall have had at least five years practice in the treating, diagnosis, and care of industrial diseases, the third member having been trained in roentgenology and having had five years practice and experience. The term of each member is six years. The Chairman of the Board is designated by the Governor. The Board hears and adjudicates all claims for compensation for disability caused by an occupational disease. The decisions of the Board are subject to review by the Industrial Accident Commission.

Employment Security Board The Department of Employment Security was established in 1937 (1951 Code, Art. 95A). A three-member Board, the Employment Security Board, is vested with the authority to administer the em- ployment security program in Maryland, having the power to adopt general and special rules and regulations and to sit in a quasi-judicial capacity on appeals involving claims for benefits and appeals arising under the taxing provisions of the Unemployment Compensation Law.
Advisory Council The Governor is empowered to appoint a State advisory council, and the Board is authorized to appoint local advisory councils consisting of an equal number of representatives from the public, the employer and the employee for respective terms of from one year to a number of years equal to the number of persons so to be appointed. The councils are to aid the Board in formulating policies and discussing problems related to administration of the law to insure impartiality in the solution of such problems.
Unemployment Compensation Division This division of the Department in accordance with the policy set by the Board administers the payment of Unemployment Compensa- tion benefits and the collection of the contributions therefor. Contri- butions are collected from employers covered under the Unemploy- ment Compensation Law and weekly benefits are made to eligible individuals, that is, those who have accumulated certain wage credits and have become unemployed through no fault of their own. The law provides for a system of experience rating whereby employers who maintain steady employment are eligible for reductions in the rate of MARYLAND MANUAL 49 contributions. All funds collected under the law are deposited with the Federal Treasury for the credit of the Unemployment Trust Fund of Maryland and may only be used for the payment of benefits (Code 1951 Art. 95A, sec. 13). Employment Service Division The Employment Service Division operates a free public employ- ment service, registering applicants for jobs in all occupational groups and makes the initial contacts between employers and pro- spective employees. The division provides vocational guidance and counseling services and administers aptitude and proficiency tests when the desirability of such tests is indicated. The division cooper- ates with other staff departments in developing labor market informa- tion, types of positions open, size and type of available labor supply, current wage rates and other related material. The division cooper- ates with the Governor’s Committee for the Promotion of the Physically Handicapped; the State Veterans Service Committee, and gives preference to qualified veterans for job openings. The Employ- ment Service Division also maintains a special Farm Labor Program for the purpose of recruiting and distributing local and migratory labor for agricultural purposes. Branch Offices The Department operates seventeen field offices throughout the State for the convenience of the public in filing claims for unemploy- ment compensation or for registering for employment.

It is the purpose of the Committee to coordinate and promote the programs of counselling, training and placement existing among State agencies for the physically handicapped. It is a function of the Committee to create an awareness on the part of the public, particularly em- ployers, of the problems faced by the handicapped in finding employ- ment, and to develop a feeling of responsibility on the part of employers in giving work to these people. The Committee has publi- cized the experience of employers with handicapped workers and endeavors to stimulate public interest in providing suitable facilities for handicapped individuals in the State.

Each employee in the Classi- fied and Unclassified Service is paid at one of the rates set forth in the pay plan for the grade or class of position in which he_ is employed. The pay plan is used by the Governor in the preparation of the budget. The Board has the authority to formulate rules and regulations for the administration of the Act. These rules include provisions for automatic increases, from minimum to maximum, of the rates established by the schedule; and, after approval by the Governor, have the force of law (Code 1955 supp., Art. 64A, secs. 24, 25, 27).

The average enrollment over the past ten years has been 155. The aim of the school is to make chil- dren with impaired hearing self-supporting members of society. Academic courses extend to the equivalent of junior high school in addition to vocational training for hoys and for girls. Speech and lip reading, aided by the use of multiple hearing aids, is taught to all. The use of individual hearing aids is encouraged, and audio- metric tests are made periodically and form a permanent file. A member of the teaching staff since 1937 has devoted full time to the testing of hearing among public school children throughout the coun- ties of the State.

The University The University of Maryland is the State university and the “Land- Grant” institution of Maryland. The present University of Maryland is the result of the merger of the former privately owned University of Maryland located in Balti- more with the former Maryland State College at College Park. The first institution was founded in 1807 as the College of Medicine of Maryland. In 1812 the General Assembly passed an act enabling the College of Medicine to enlarge its curriculum and changed its name to the University of Maryland. Subsequently, faculties of law (1823), dentistry (1882), nursing (1889), and pharmacy (1904) were added. The Maryland State College was founded as the Maryland Agricul- tural College, a private institution at College Park, in 1856. This school became the beneficiary of the Land-Grant Act of 1862. In 1914, the State assumed complete control of the school and in 1916 a new charter, which renamed the school as the Maryland State College, was granted by the State Legislature. The General Assembly consolidated the University of Maryland and the Maryland State College in 1920 and gave the name University of Maryland to the new school. The University is under the administration of a Board of Regents consisting of eleven members appointed by the Governor for a term of nine years. The Board appoints the President of the University who also serves as chief administrative officer of the Board. The Board of Regents has the power within the limits prescribed by law to issue revenue bonds for the purpose of erecting dormitories and other student housing facilities, student union buildings (at College Park and Baltimore) and a combination physical education and audi- torium building. Such bonds are to be issued directly by the Regents. The payment of the principal and interest of the bonds are to be met from revenue realized from the use of the buildings (Code 1951, Art. 77, secs. 241-251). The main campus of the University is located at College Park. Instruction is given here in the undergraduate and graduate courses of the College of Agriculture, College of Military Science and Tactics, College of Arts and Sciences, College of Business and Public Admin- istration, College of Education, College of Engineering and Aeronau- tical Sciences, College of Home Economics and the College of Physi- cal Education, Recreation and Health. Also located at College Psh-k are the Graduate School, the Summer School and the offices of the College of Special and Continuation Studies.
Professional Schools The professional schools of the University of Maryland comprising the schools of Dentistry, Law, Medicine, Nursing and Pharmacy, to- gether with the University Hospital, are located in Baltimore at Lombard and Greene Streets. The College of Special and Continua- tion Studies also offers courses here.

State Board of Agriculture The Board of Regents of the University of Maryland acts as the State Board of Agriculture. As such, it has the authority to enforce the laws of the State relating to agriculture, to pass such regulatory measures as it deems necessary and to administer the State and Federal funds made available for agricultural purposes (Code 1951, Art. 66C, secs. 46-60). Extension Service The Extension Service was established by Federal and State laws in 1914. The service is represented in each county of the State by a County Agricultural Agent and a Home Demonstration Agent. The Extension Service is supported by Federal, State and county funds. Scientific and economic agricultural information for rural people, assistance in promoting better marketing conditions, cooperation with rural groups and associations and the encouragement of the market- ing of home supplies by rural women are all a part of the work of the Extension Service. In addition to work with adults, the agency works with rural boys and girls through the 4-H clubs. Short courses in various fields are also conducted by the service (Code 1951, Art. 66C, secs. 56, 57).
Agricultural Experiment Station The Agricultural Experiment Station was established in 1888. It is an enterprise of the State with extensive Federal grants. The work of the station centers at laboratories located at College Park where studies of insects and diseases, soil fertility, botanical and other problems are undertaken. The livestock and dairy barns with their experimental herds are also located at College Park. Research in soil fertility, plant breeding and general horticultural problems is conducted at a plant research farm located near Beltsville. An ex- perimental farm, located near Upper Marlboro, is given over to the problems of tobacco growing and curing. Near Ellicott City, there is a farm which is devoted to livestock problems. Research in the problems of broiler producers and the growing of various vegetable crops is conducted at a farm near Salisbury (Code 1951, Art. 66C, secs. 58-60). Maryland State Department of Markets The State Department of Markets was established in 1924. It operates as an agent of the State Board of Agriculture under State laws and the Federal Research and Marketing Act. It functions in four fields: (1) Extension Education, (2) Marketing Services, (3) Statistical and (4) Regulatory. The activities of the Depart- ment include grading and inspection services, market price reporting, market surveys, a marketing information and service program, ex- tension marketing and consumer information.

The Department is also authorized by law to perform certain func- tions concerning the inspection and regulation of weights and meas- ures (Code 1951, Art. 97, secs. 4-12). State Inspection and Regulatory Service The State Inspection and Regulatory Service is responsible for the enforcement of the State Laws relating to feed, fertilizer, agricultural liming material and agricultural insecticides and fungicides. These laws are classified as the “Correct Labeling Acts”. The agency’s work in the enforcement of these laws is divided into five parts: (1) registration of brand names, (2) collection of samples, (3) chemical analysis and examination of samples, (4) publication of results of tests and (5) prosecution of violators (Code 1951, Art. 48, secs. 123- 148; Art. 66C, secs. 462-476).
Seed Inspection Service The Seed Inspection Service was established in 1912. The Service is responsible for the enforcement of the seed laws of the State. The agency inspects, analyzes, tests, and examines seed samples collected by it or submitted to it for examination. The unit also cooperates with the United States Department of Agriculture in the enforcement of the Federal Seed Act (Code 1951, Art. 48, secs. 149-156). State Department of Drainage The State Department of Drainage was established in 1937. It is responsible for the promotion and encouragement of drainage of agri- cultural lands; the correlation of activities of local drainage organi- zations and cooperation with State and Federal agencies in the de- velopment of a permanent program of improved drainage (Code 1951, Art. 66C, sec. 64). Dairy Inspection Service The Dairy Inspection Service was established in 1935. It is re- sponsible for the administration of the dairy inspection laws. Dealers purchasing milk and cream from producers as well as all persons sampling, weighing and testing milk and cream are licensed by the agency. The service inspects all scales and weigh tanks and cali- brates glassware used in the testing of milk and cream (Code 1951, Art. 43, secs. 542-555). Live Stock Sanitary Service The Live Stock Sanitary Service was established in 1916 succeed- ing the Live Stock Sanitary Board. The agency is charged with the responsibility for preventing the introduction of diseases of animals or poultry from outside the State and the control and eradication of such diseases within the State. The service is further responsible in cooperation with the State Department of Health for the suppression of diseases of animals or poultry which affect the public health. Fa- cilities for the diagnosis of diseases are furnished at the main labora- tory at College Park and in the branch laboratories located at Bal- timore, Centreville, Frederick, Hagerstown and Salisbury (Code 1951, Art. 66C, secs. 408-461).

The school remained under church jurisdiction until its purchase by the State of Maryland in 1939. The name of the school was changed to Morgan College in 1890 in honor of Dr. Lyttleton Morgan whose gift of a large sum of money to the institution enabled it to offer academic work on a collegiate level. The College moved to its present location on Hillen Road in 1917 from its former location on Edmondson Avenue, Baltimore. Morgan State College is under the direction of a Board of Trustees of nine members, appointed by the Governor with the advice and consent of the Senate for terms of nine years, the term of one member expiring each year. The administra- tion of the College is vested in the President who is appointed by the Board of Trustees (Code 1951, Art. 65A). Morgan State College is an institution of higher learning devoting its primary efforts to the training of prospective teachers for the junior and senior high schools, and the preparation of students for entrance to graduate and professional schools. It also offers courses for women in homemaking and prepares students for employment in recreational and leisure-time activities through its departments of music, drama, and physical education. Through courses in commerce, training is given to students looking forward to careers in business. In order to perform these functions the College operates in three divisions: (1) The College which is at the campus on Hillen Road offers a standard four-year course in the liberal arts and teacher training; (2) The Summer School, which meets at the Hillen Road campus for six weeks each summer and is designed primarily to offer “in-service-training” to teachers in Maryland schools; (3) The Evening School which is operated in cooperation with the Department of Education of the City of Baltimore; courses are given each eve- ning throughout the academic year at Douglass High School and in various county centers providing an opportunity for youth and adults to secure instruction on the college level and to provide “in-service- training” to teachers in the Baltimore area. During the academic year 1953, Morgan had a gross enrollment in all divisions of 2,430, with 1,872 regular students, 175 evening students, and 383 summer stu- dents.

The Governor is authorized to designate the Chairman of the Board, and to arrange the terms of the members so that they will hold office for staggered terms of six years, the terms of three members expiring on June 1st of every second year (Code 1951, Art. 88A, secs. 2, 3). In each county there is a County Welfare Board, constituting an administrative department of the local government, with authority to administer under the supervision, direction and control of the State Department, the welfare activities within each county, including the care of neglected, dependent and delinquent children. Each County Board consists of six persons, who are appointed for six-year terms by the Board of County Commissioners. Each year the County Com- missioners designate one of their members to serve on the Welfare Board (Code 1951, Art. 88A, secs. 13, 14). The duties of the Department include the investigation of the system of public and private institutions, organizations and agencies of a charitable nature in the State, including those which receive part of their income from the State, except those placed by law under the supervision of another State agency. Prior to the convening of each regular session of the General Assembly, the Director furnishes to the Governor a report which includes activities of the Department, the conditions of all charitable institutions, organizations, and agencies, excepting hospitals, receiving financial aid from the State, and recommendations as to appropriations (Code 1951, Art. 88A, sec. 3). All monies appropriated to institutions, organizations, and agencies, excepting hospitals, are paid on a per capita basis at the rates, and subject to the rules and regulations, established by the State Board of Public Welfare (Code 1951, Art. 88A, sec. 10). The Department administers the child care laws with regard to the placement of children in this State. It licenses agencies and institutions having the care and custody of minors (Code 1951, Art. 88A, secs. 19-31). The State Department of Public Welfare is responsible for the supervision, direction and control of the four State training schools. In developing the program within each training school, including provision for after-care supervision, the Department establishes rules and regulations, standards of care, policies of admission, transfer and discharge, and may order changes in the policies, conduct or management of the four State training schools. Subject to these limitations, each of the schools is under the general management of 72 MARYLAND MANUAL
its Board of Managers. The Governor appoints nine members for staggered terms of six years, so arranged that the terms of at least three members expire every two years (Code 1951, Art. 88A, secs. 32-37).

The General Assem- bly of 1941 consolidated these nine agencies into five equal Depart- ments (Code 1951, Art. 66C, secs. 6-21) namely, Department of Tidewater Fisheries, Department of Game and Inland Fish, Depart- ment of Forests and Parks, Department of Geology, Mines and Water Resources, Department of Research and Education. The Bureau of Mines, formerly attached to the Department of Labor and Statistics, was placed under the Department of Geology, Mines and Water Resources. The same act which established these five Departments also created the Board of Natural Resources to coordinate and integrate the MARYLAND MANUAL 79 activities of these departments (Code 1951, Art. 66C, secs. 1-5). The Board is composed of five ex-oificio and eight appointive members. The ex-officio members are the Chairman of the Commission of Tidewater Fisheries and the Directors of each of the four remaining departments. Eight appointive members hold office for four-year terms and are designated by the Governor as follows: two from the tidewater counties of the Eastern Shore, two from the tidewater counties of the Western Shore and four from the State-at-large. The Chairman of the Commission of Tidewater Fisheries is designated by law as the Chairman of the Board, and since the former office is appointive, he is, for all practical purposes, also an appointive mem- ber. The Board is, therefore, composed of four professional ex-officio members who are Directors of departments under Merit System rules of tenure and who, therefore, form its permanent nucleus; the remaining nine members, including the Chairman, are appointed by the Governor. The members of the Board receive no salary for their services. The Board was created to formulate broad general policies on conservation. It is directed to publish an annual report covering the activities of the five conservation departments; to maintain the boundaries of the State (Art. 66C, secs. 31-32); to administer certain mineral resources under the Chesapeake Bay (Art. 66C, secs. 22-30); to administer artificial islands in Sinepuxent Bay (Art. 66C, sec. 33); and to approve or disapprove of certain fishery regulations (Art. 66C, secs. 289 and 326).

The department is the successor of the tidewater fisheries functions of the former Conservation Department. The Department is headed by a commission consisting of a Chairman and two associate members appointed by the Governor for terms of six years with overlapping tenure of office. The Commission formulates the basic policy which is administered by the Department of Tidewater Fisheries. The Commission also has power to make regulations governing the crab fisheries and to enter into compact with the State of Virginia in this regard, subject to review and approval by the Board of Natural Resources. The Department is administering a three-part program for the conservation of the fisheries. The first is concerned with “farming” for the purpose of conserving and increasing the oyster. The second is a fish management program which limits the number 80 MARYLAND MANUAL of commercial licenses issued each year for the taking of fin-fish. The third is a program of interstate cooperation which is concerned primarily with the crabbing industry. In addition, each of these— crabbing, fin-fishing, and oystering is subject to certain regulatory restrictions. To enforce these regulations, the Department maintains a fleet of thirty-six patrol boats and one patrol plane (Code 1951, Art. 66C, secs. 6, 12).

The present Department, established in 1943, superseded the Game and Inland Fish Commission and the game and inland fish functions of the Conservation Department. The Department of Game and Inland Fish is under the direction of a non- salaried commission of five members appointed by the Governor from the several geographical regions of the State. The term of each member is five years, one term expiring each year. The Commission elects a chairman and a vice-chairman from its membership, and appoints the Director of the Department. The Commission has the power to promulgate such rules and regulations as it deems necessary MARYLAND MANUAL 81 for the conservation of the resources in its charge. Such rules may restrict, extend or enlarge the terms of the game and fresh water fish laws. The Department enforces the game and fresh water fish laws and such additional regulations as it enacts. It also receives the proceeds from the sale of angling an# hunting licenses, these funds being used to finance the activities of the department (Code 1951, Art. 66C, secs. 113-115). As of June 1954, the Department owned game farms and refuges totaling 32,000 acres. It has leased many other areas which are managed under the Maryland Cooperative Game Program. The State- owned game farms operated by the department are as follows: Gwyn- brook State Game Farm in Baltimore^ County, Montgomery State Game Farm in Montgomery County, Wicomico State Game Farm in Wicomico County, and Belle Grove State Game Farm in Allegany County. At these farms bobwhites, wild ducks, and wild turkeys are propagated. In all sections of Maryland special emphasis has been placed on habitat improvement on private and public lands for the purpose of increasing wildlife populations. Over 100,000 acres of State forests are managed for wildlife in cooperation with the Department of Forests and Parks. The Commission now owns and operates a fresh water fish hatchery at Lewistown, Frederick County, where trout and black bass are propagated. It also owns and operates trout rearing stations, at Bear Creek in Garrett County and Beaver Creek in Washington County. Ninety (90) major surface water areas containing more than five (5) acres each have been stocked with warm or cold water fish species and over one hundred (100) streams receive quotas of com- mercially purchased or State hatchery reared fish during the year. The Inland Fish Division raises nearly 100,000 (30,000 lbs.) adult Trout each year and 75,000 fingerlings. Approximately 25,000 finger- ling Small Mouth Bass, together with fingerling Large Mouth Bass and Bluegills, are also raised for over 200 farm ponds annually. Supplementing this State program is the purchase of adult Large Mouth Bass, Crappie, Walleyes and Bluegills which total some 50,000 adults going into our warm waters as brood fish and “put and takers” relieving the pressure of resident and non-resident fishermen, par- ticularly in the Appalachian, Piedmont and Coastal Plain Regions.

Elk Neck State Park Fred Hiser, Park Guard, The Rocks State Park The Commission of Forests and Parks consists of five members appointed by the Governor, one recommended by the Maryland Farm Bureau, one by the Maryland State Grange; a third member shall have had practical experience in the lumbering business, while the remaining two shall have an interest in the advancement of State parks and recreation. The members serve for a term of five years with overlapping tenure of office. They select their chairman and appoint the Director of the Department of Forests and Parks (Code 1951, Art. 66C, secs. 340, 341). A forestry department was first organized in 1906 under the State Board of Forestry. The present Department, associated with the Board of Natural Resources, was organized in 1941, and is the successor of the first department. The Department of Forests and Parks administers the tree marketing program under which woodland owners who plan to dispose of their timber may secure a free marking service to yield maximum return in saw timber and other forest products with due provision made for a sustained yield of successive timber crops. To supplement the timber cropping program and provide adequate planting stock for reforestation, the State maintains a nursery with a potential capacity of ten million trees. The Depart- ment also administers the Forest Conservancy Districts Act designed to ensure the practice of forestry on privately owned woodlands throughout the State (Code 1951, Art. 66C, secs. 342-406). The district foresters of the Department serve as executive officers and secretaries of local forestry boards set up under the Act. Another responsibility of the Department is the protection from fire of 2,700,000 acres of public and private woodland. To_ carry out this assignment, the Department maintains a specially trained fire control force, which is supplemented by 600-700 forest wardens commissioned by the Governor. The protection of approximately 3,000,000 trees along the State highways is also a responsibility of the Department. A force of wardens is employed to supervise tree trimming operations by the public utility companies along their pole-line right of ways. The Department also examines and licenses tree experts operating within the State. The Department administers ten State Forests with a total area of 119,795 acres. These forests serve as demonstration areas in forestry management. Recreational areas have been developed in several of 84 MARYLAND MANUAL them, notably, Herrington Manor on the Swallow Falls and New Germany on the Savage River. Parallel to this is the administration of thirteen State Parks of scenic or historic interest totaling 11,181.5 acres.

The Department is under the direction of a Commission of five members appointed by the Governor for terms of five years. The term of one member expires each year. The Commis- sion selects its own chairman and appoints the Director of the Depart- ment. Those functions of the Department dealing with geology and water resources are under the immediate supervision of the Director; the supervision of the mining industry is charged to the Bureau of Mines. The Department has supervision of topographic, geologic, hydro- graphic, and magnetic surveys. It prepares topographic, geologic and such other maps as may be necessary to meet a specific need. Reports on the extent and character of the State’s mineral and water resources are prepared by the Department. In cooperation with the United States Government, surveys of the water resources of the State are made. The agency investigates and recommends plans and policies for the protection of the State’s waterfront and waterways against erosion. The Department has the further power to control and to conserve, in so far as is practicable, the surface and underground waters of Maryland; and to that end has jurisdiction over the con- struction and repairs of reservoirs, dams, and other water-way ob- structions. In order to carry out this function, the Department li- censes all water well drillers in the State and issues a permit for each well to be drilled. The Commission also has the power to promul- gate and enforce such rules as may be necessary to conserve the State’s water resources and its oil and gas resources (Code 1951, Art. 66C, secs. 15-17, 666-701).

The goods manufactured in State Use Industries shops are for sale to the various agencies of the State of Maryland, the Federal Government, the District of Columbia, and the states and territories of the United States as well as to the political sub- divisions thereof. Manufactured products are also available to re- ligious and charitable institutions providing the goods are for their own use and not for resale. In addition to the State Use Industries, employment of prisoners is also provided in the public works pro- gram of the State. The earnings of the prisoners are credited to their respective institutional accounts and certain expenditures are permitted during their incarceration, and the balance is payable to them upon release. The Division of Classification and Education of the Department of Correction supervises the classification at each of the institutions of the Department, collecting and recording all necessary information and data concerning the prisoners to enable the proper classifying of all inmates in accordance with their abilities and in order to aid in their rehabilitation, as well as the educational functions. The Department of Correction is further responsible for conduct- ing an annual inspection of the county jails in Maryland and makes recommendations for their improvement (Code 1951, Art. 27, sec. 789).

MARYLAND PENITENTIARY Vernon L. Pepersack, Warden 954 Forrest Street, Baltimore 2 Telephone: Vernon 7-2135 The concept of a central penitentiary for an entire state was a creation of eighteenth-century humanitarianism in America. It was original in form in that for the first time a penal institution was de- signed to serve more than a single county, town or parish, and it w&s original in purpose in that it proposed to treat its inmates not as enemies of society to be punished, but as penitents to be reformed. With this concept in mind the General Assembly of Maryland, in 4.804, appointed a Commission to construct such an institution; however, because of financial difficulties the Penitentiary was not completed and opened until 1811; the second institution of its type in the United States. The institution has operated continuously since the date of its opening. During its first 100 years, the Penitentiary was governed by a Board of Inspectors or a Board of Managers. With the establish- ment of the Board of Prison Control (now the Board of Correction) in 1917, the institution was placed under its control. The Penitentiary is a maximum security penal institution and long-term offenders are confined here. All sentences of death are also executed at the Penitentiary. Prisoners are employed at the State Use Industries shops which are designed to provide employment and practical vocational training. MARYLAND MANUAL 93
The following shops are now operating: printing, auto tag, shoe manufacturing, woodworking, brush manufacturing, sewing, mat- tress and upholstering, metal products, and knitting. A road camp is operated out of this institution. The average population of the Penitentiary for the fiscal year 1954 was 1,560.

The institution operates a farm and maintains a herd of dairy cattle which supplies dairy products to this institution, the Penitentiary, Patuxent Institution and the Reformatory for Women. Under the State Use Industries organization, concrete and cinder blocks are made; a soap and a paint factory; wood working, tobacco and clothing shops and a cannery are operated. Other inmates are employed under the Public Works program. Three road camps op- erate out of this institution. A school is also operated at the House of Correction. The institution is located on a farm of 1,268 acres. The average population of the House of Correction for the fiscal year 1954 was 1,877 (Code 1951, Art. 27, secs. 757, 773, 796).

The Reformatory is a minimum security institution. Male offenders from 16 to 25 are committed to the Reformatory by the Courts for an indeterminate sentence. While primarily for youth- ful offenders, the Board of Correction may transfer prisoners of any age from the House of Correction or the Penitentiary to the Re- formatory. The Board may also transfer incorrigible and unmanage- able inmates of the Reformatory to other institutions. 94 MARYLAND MANUAL
The Reformatory conducts an educational program with regular classes in basic education as well as in vocational and industrial arts education. The institution has the services of a psychologist to aid in the classication and examination of those committed. Located on an 875 acre farm, a dairy cattle herd is maintained which supplies dairy products to the Reformatory as well as to other state institu- tions. A cannery, metal shop, brush shop and bookbindery are also operated as State Use Industries. Other inmates are employed on Public Works projects.

The Board consists of a chairman and two associate members appointed by the Governor, with the advice and consent of the Senate, for a term of six years, providing that of those first appointed the Chairman shall serve for six years, one associate member for four years and the other for two years. The Chairman of the Board serves as director of the De- partment. He may assign members of the board to administrative and other duties as required. The Board of Parole and Probation may upon the vote of two of its members parole any person confined in the correctional insti- tutions of the State who has served at least one-third of his term. The Board may recommend to the Governor the paroling of individuals serving life sentences but the Governor has sole jurisdiction over the parole of such persons. The Board also controls the releases -of 96 MARYLAND MANUAL prisoners serving indeterminate sentences at the State Reformatory for Women and at the State Reformatory for Males who have been recommended for its consideration by the Board of Correction. The Department administers the Inter-State Compact for the reciprocal supervision of parolees and probationers.

Lexington Street, Baltimore 3 Telephone: Lexington 9-4370 The State Roads Commission was established in 1908, succeeding to the highway survey functions of the Maryland Geological and Eco- 102 MARYLAND MANUAL
nomic Survey. The Commission consists of three members, appointed by, and holding office at the pleasure of, the Governor. One of the members must be a resident of the Eastern Shore, one a resident of the Western Shore, and one a resident of Baltimore City or a person who at the time of his appointment and for a period of at least two years prior thereto has continuously had his principal place of busi- ness or employment or professional activity in Baltimore City. At least one member must be affiliated with one of the two leading political parties different from that to which the Governor belongs (Code 1951, Art. 89B, sec. 1). The State Roads Commission has jurisdiction over the construc- tion, maintenance, and administration of the State highway system, and, in addition, maintains, constructs, or reconstructs the road sys- tem of nine of the twenty-three counties of the State. It is responsi- ble for the making of preliminary studies, investigations, surveys, and plans for the construction or reconstruction of the highways and related appurtenances within its jurisdiction, and performs the final review of those plans and the field supervision and inspection of the construction activities; it acquires the necessary right-of-way, pre- pares all necessary specifications, special provisions, advertisements for bids, contract documents, agreements, etc., all as required to effect the complete installation. Through its maintenance activities, the Commission provides the necessary resurfacing, drainage, traffic service, and snow removal for the highways included in the State System. Included in the organization of the Commission is a Traffic Division, which makes traffic counts, traffic origin and destination studies, and such other investigations as are necessary to determine the need for highway facilities, and the need for traffic service devices such as traffic signals and warning signs. This division also prepares State and individual county road maps. The Location Division is responsible for the making of preliminary and final surveys and location studies. The Division of Road Design prepares roadway plans, quantities, estimates and related Special Provisions, while the Bureau of Bridges performs similar engineering services in connection with structures on the various projects. The Bureau of Bridges also is responsible for the maintenance and inspection of construction for all bridges on the State highway system. The Materials Division is responsible for the testing of all materials used in the construction and maintenance of all highways and bridges. The Right-of-Way Division is responsible for acquiring the rights-of-way essential to the modernization of existing highways and bridges, as well as those required for new highways and bridges. The Construction Division performs the field supervision and inspection of construction for the highway projects, while the Maintenance Division performs a similar service in super- vising maintenance activities, and projects performed with prison labor. Advisory Council on Highway Construction Chairman: Charles S. Garland Donald H. Sherwood, George F. Lang The members of the Advisory Council on Highway Construction are appointed by the Governor to consult with and advise the mem- bers of the State Roads Commission in the planning of highway con- MARYLAND MANUAL 103 struction and to aid the Commission in such other matters under its supervision as it may deem necessary.
Financing the State Roads System The State Roads Commission administers all funds for the con- struction, maintenance, and operation of the highway network under its jurisdiction. The Legislature of 1947 authorized the issuance of Revenue Bonds for the purpose of constructing toll bridges, tunnels, and roads. The selection of the route as a toll road or the project as a toll bridge must be made in accordance with the specific provisions of the law. The Legislature of 1947 authorized the issuance of State Highway Construction Bonds in a total amount of $100,000,000 to supplement revenues of the Construction Fund in order to meet the requirements of an expanded road construction program. All of the bonds included under this authorization were sold by the State Roads Commission prior to June 30, 1954. The Legislature of 1953, after consideration of a twelve-year pro- gram for road construction and reconstruction, authorized the issu- ance of $330,000,000 par value additional State Highway Construction Bonds (subject to certain limitations including provision that the maximum principal amount of all State Highway Construction Bonds outstanding at any time shall not exceed $300,000,000) for the pur- pose of financing, in part, the reconstruction of both primary and secondary roads of the State Highway System and the development and construction of new roads made mandatory by traffic demands (Code 1955, supp. Art. 89B, secs. 156, 162A-162G). The first series of bonds under this authorization were issued in total amount of $25,000,000 bearing date of September 1, 1954. Revenues derived by the State Roads Commission representing fifty percent share of the Gasoline Tax Fund distributions and the Excise Tax on Issuance of Certificates of Title to Motor Vehicles are pledged for debt service of State Highway Construction Bonds; any remainder of such revenues, together with Federal appropriations, contributions from the counties, and proceeds from the sale of State Highway Construction Bonds, are available for the construction of highways and bridges. Under certain conditions a sum not in excess of $2,000,- 000, increased to $3,000,000 by the 1955 Legislature, may be trans- ferred in any fiscal year from the Construction Fund to the Mainte- nance Fund, such funds to be used for the maintenance and operation of the State Highway System. The State Roads Commission also receives a fifty percent share of the Motor Vehicle Revenue Fund distributions for paying such expenses as are not allocable to projects, for maintenance and opera- tion of the State Highway System, and for other maintenance (Code 1951, Art. 66V2, sec. 28; Art. 89B, sec. 26). Appropriations available to the Commission during the fiscal year 1955 for the construction and reconstruction of roads will be supple- mented, as required, by proceeds from the sale of State Highway Construction Bonds to be issued under the 1953 authorization. County funds will also be augmented to the extent that the several counties participate in the issuance of County Highway Construction Bonds as authorized by the 1953 Acts. 104 MARYLAND MANUAL Appropriations—1955 Special Fund (including Federal Aid): Sinking Fund Provision—State Highway Construction Bonds $ 9,406,003 Construction of Primary and Secondary Highways— State System 18,782,466 Maintenance of Highways—State System 7,121,030 Operation and Maintenance of Patuxent River Toll Bridge 60,000 Sign Permit Administration 10,000 Enforcement of Motor Vehicle Weight-and-Size Limitations 440,000 County and Municipality Funds 13,427,464 Total $49,246,963 Appropriations^—-1956 Special Fund (including Federal Aid): Sinking Fund Provision—State Highway Construction Bonds $10,878,150 Construction of Primary and Secondary Highways— State System 21,879,063 Maintenance of Highways—State System 8,006,990 Operation and Maintenance of Patuxent River Toll Bridge 65,000 Enforcement of Motor Vehicle Weight-and-Size Limitations 443,000 County and Municipality Funds 15,983,566 Total $57,255,769 Staff: 3,171.

Within the Maryland-Washington Regional District, which includes and extends beyond the Metropolitan District, the Commission is em- powered to make, adopt, and amend a general plan for the physical development of the District, including all factors of urban, suburban, rural, and regional planning. Plans and specifications for the con- struction of public works improvements and facilities are authorized to be prepared by the Commission. It is given specific sub-division control power, and jurisdiction over street grades and locations, pub- lic buildings and utilities after the adoption of a major road plan over street naming and house numbering, and the Commission has advisory zoning powers. The zoning ordinances and amendments, however, are enacted by the County Council of Montgomery County and the Board of County Commissioners of Prince George’s County sitting as a District Council for that portion of the District within each county. The Commission recommends land use or zoning^ ordi- nances and similar ordinance subject matters to the respective District Councils. The administrative expenses of the Commission are paid from an administrative tax levied within the District. The taxes 128 MARYLAND MANUAL

WASHINGTON SUBURBAN SANITARY COMMISSION Chairman: T. Earle Bourne, 1959 Vice Chairman: Frank L. Hewitt, Jr., 1959 J. Norman Ager, 1959; James B. Bland, 1959; Willard A. Morris, 1959; L. S. “Ted” Ray, 1959. John T. Bonifant, Secretary Nicholas Orem, Jr., General Counsel Harry B. Shaw, Chief Engineer 4017 Hamilton Street, Hyattsville Telephone: Appleton 7-7700 The Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission was created by the General Assembly of Maryland in 1918. It is composed of six members, two of whom are appointed by the Governor, two by the County Council of Montgomery County, and two by the Board of County Commissioners of Prince George’s County. All serve for terms of four years. When the Commission was organized, the Washington Suburban Sanitary District had an area of 94 square miles. Additions were made to the District in succeeding years by the General Assem- bly of Maryland. It now contains 213 suare miles within Prince George’s and Montgomery counties adjacent to the District of Colum- bia. The present District has an estimated population of 425,000 and an assessed valuation in excess of 828 millions of dollars. The Commission provides for the construction and the operation of the water supply and sewerage systems, has jurisdiction over storm drainage, plumbing, and the location of utilities and provides refuse disposal service within the Sanitary District. It also operates a refuse collection service in the suburban portion of Montgomery County. As of December 31, 1952, the water and sewerage systems of the Commission contained 1,076 and 920 miles of mains respectively. MARYLAND MANUAL 129
The main source of water supply of the Sanitary District is the Patuxent River, which has been impounded by the construction of a dam near Brighton in Montgomery County. There has been con- structed another dam on the same river near Laurel in Prince George’s County. With the completion of this dam, the Washington Suburban Sanitary District has an assured yield from the Patuxent River of slightly over 40 million gallons daily. The Commission also obtains a portion of its water supply from the Northwest Branch of the Anacostia River, which water is treated in a rapid sand filtration plant at Burnt Mills. It has a third source of supply from deep wells at Forest Heights in the southern portion of the District. This under- ground supply will yield at present 1.4 million gallons daily. At the present time sewage is disposed of by discharging it into the District of Columbia sewerage system and treating it at the Anacostia Sewage Treatment Works of the Commission near Bladens- burg, Maryland. Negotiations are under way with the District of Columbia whereby all the sewage of the Sanitary District will be treated at the District of Columbia Sewage Treatment Plant at Blue Plains. Refuse is disposed of by means of an incinerator located at Lyttons- ville and a sanitary landfill at Fairland in Montgomery County and an incinerator at Bladensburg in Prince George’s County. The construction operations of the Commission are financed from proceeds of bonds. These bonds are retired with funds from several sources. The general construction bonds are retired by front foot benefit charges and ad valorem taxes. Bonds for major water and sewer construction are retired from water consumption and sewerage usage charges respectively. Refuse incinerator bonds are retired from receipts of the refuse service, and storm water drainage bonds are retired from ad valorem tax receipts.

ATLANTIC STATES MARINE FISHERIES COMMISSION Commissioners from the State of Maryland: John P. Tawes, Chairman, Commission of Tidewater Fisheries; Appointed by the Commission on Interstate Cooperation: Louis L. Gold- stein; Appointed by the Governor: Harold D. Kennerley, Jr., 1956. Wayne D. Heydecker, Secretary-Treasurer 22 West First Street, Mount Vernon, N. Y. Telephone: Mount Vernon 8-1414 The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission is an outgrowth of the “Eastern Conservation Conference” begun in 1937. A compact was drawn up and ratified by seven states, including Maryland, in 1941. This compact which was assented to by the United States Congress and signed by the President in 1942 is the legal basis of the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission which today has a membership of fifteen Atlantic Seaboard States. Each State is represented by three Commissioners, one of whom must be the chairman or director of the fisheries management agency, one a legislator and a member of the Commission on Interstate Co- operation Committee; and the third selected by the Governor for a term of three years. The Commission acts in an advisory capacity only, aiding in the development of joint programs dealing with a single species or a body of water common to two or more states. These may result in uniform laws or varying but coordinated meas- ures as the circumstances require. To accomplish these ends, the Commission usually meets in committees for the consideration of a particular species of fish or group of species; or in four regional groups as follows: (1) the North Atlantic States, (2) the Middle Atlantic States, (3) the Chesapeake Bay Area, and (4) the South Atlantic States. The technical advice and research facilities of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service are available to the Commis- sion and its member states. The Commission is supported by propor- tional contributions from each of the participating states, related to the value of its Marine Fisheries catch as compared with the total Atlantic catch. It issues mimeographed minutes of Annual Section and Committee meetings. The Annual Meeting minutes contain valu- able scientific appendices. It also issues printed Annual Reports. All are on file in the office of the Department of Tidewater Fisheries (Code 1951, Art. 66C, secs. 252-256).

MARYLAND MANUAL 153 LEGISLATURE THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY Louis L. Goldstein, President of the Senate John C. Luber, Speaker of the House of Delegates The legislative powers of the State of Maryland are vested in the General Assembly which consists of two distinct branches, the Senate and the House of Delegates (Const. 1867, Art. Ill, sec. 1). The General Assembly at the present time consists of 152 members: 29 Senators and 123 members of the House of Delegates. Each county and each of the six Legislative Districts of the city of Baltimore is entitled to one Senator. The members of the House of Delegates are elected by the counties and the Legislative Districts of Baltimore City. The number of Delegates for each county varies from two to six and each Legislative District is entitled to six delegates. This membership form- erly was determined by a formula based upon population (set forth in the Constitution); but, by the terms of a Constitutional amendment adopted in 1950, the membership of the House of Delegates was frozen at its then current number (III, 5). Every Senator or Delegate must be a citizen of the State, and a resident of it for at least three years preceding the date of his elec- tion and the last year thereof, he must have resided in the county or the Legislative District of Baltimore City which he represents. A Senator must be at least twenty-five years of age at the time of his election and a Delegate at least twenty-one. No member of Congress or any person holding a civil or military office under the United States Government nor any clergyman or minister shall be eligible for election to the General Assembly (III, 9, 10, 11). The term of each Senator and Delegate shall be for four years from the date of his election (XVII). All vacancies occurring in either House through death, resignation or disqualification shall be filled by the Governor, who shall appoint a person whose name is submitted to him in writing by the State Central Committee of the party to which the person holding the vacated seat belonged, and the person appointed must be affiliated with that party. All persons so appointed shall serve for the unexpired portion of the term (III, 13, amended November 1936). Each House shall elect its own officers and shall be judge of its own members and shall establish rules for the con- duct of its business. The General Assembly meets annually. Sessions in odd-numbered years begin the first Wednesday in January and are limited to ninety days; the sessions meeting in even-numbered years begin the first Wednesday of February and are limited to thirty days. The sessions in even-numbered years are limited to the consideration of budgetary matters, matters in the general public welfare and legislation of an emergency nature. The Governor may call special sessions at any time he deems it necessary (III, 14, amended). The General Assembly is required to pass at each regular session a budget bill which shall contain the budget for the State govern- ment for the next fiscal year. Upon the passage of the bill by both Houses, it becomes law without further action (III, 52). The General Assembly has power to pass such laws as are necessary for the welfare of the State, and in addition, it has the power to pass public local laws for counties and special taxing areas. The Home Rule Amendment of 1954 (XI-E) almost entirely prohibits the Gen- eral Assembly from passing local legislation regarding incorporated 154 MARYLAND MANUAL cities and towns, although retaining its power to pass general State- wide laws. The General Assembly may establish such departments of the State government as are necessary for its efficient operation and may establish special taxing districts or areas within the State for the purpose of administering a special function or functions. The General Assembly may establish such taxes as are in accordance with the Constitution of the State and of the United States. It may pro- pose amendments to the State Constitution, which must be embodied in a regular legislative bill and passed by three-fifths of the total membership of each House. All amendments to the Constitution must be submitted to the voters at the next general election after their passage. All bills passed by the General Assembly become law when signed by the Governor or passed over his veto by three-fifths of the member- ship of each House, on the first day of June after the session in which the law was passed; except, (1) when a later date is specified in the act or (2) when the bill is declared an emergency measure and passed by three-fifths of the total number of members of each house, in which case the bill becomes law immediately upon its approval by the Governor. The General Assembly may add a referendum provision to any local bill but may not submit a state-wide bill to referendum (with the exception of a Soldiers’ Bonus Bill). Any state-wide bill, except an appropriation bill, and any local bill which concerns a county or Baltimore City may be submitted to a referendum by petition. No bill subject to a referendum shall be enforceable until approved by a majority of the voters at the election in which the referred bill is voted upon, except an emergency bill which shall be effective imme- diately but shall remain effective thirty days following its rejection by the voters (XVI). The House of Delegates has sole power of impeachment of any officer of the State. A bill of impeachment must be approved by a majority of the whole number of members of the House. The Senate tries all impeachment cases, and a verdict of guilty must be con- curred in by two-thirds of the total number of Senators (III, 26). The Senate has the additional power to confirm officers appointed by the Governor as may be provided by the Constitution or by the act creating such office. The State Treasurer is elected by a joint ballot of both Houses every fourth year. The General Assembly also elects the Gov- ernor in case of a tie or ineligibility of the winning candidate; and should the office become vacant while it is in session, then the Gen- eral Assembly shall elect a successor; otherwise, the President of the Senate succeeds to the office until the next regular session.

The Council consists of twenty members, ten from the Senate and ten from the House of Delegates. The President of the Senate, the Chairman of the Committee on Judicial Proceedings, the Chairman of the Finance Committee, and the Minority Floor Leader are ex-officio members from the Senate. The President of the Senate appoints the remaining six members, at least two of whom shall be from the minority party; the appointments are subject to approval by majority vote of the Senate. The Speaker of the House of Dele- gates, the Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, the Chair- man of the Judiciary Committee, and the Minority Floor Leader are ex-officio members from the House. The Speaker appoints the remain- ing six members, at least two of whom shall be from the minority party; the appointments being subject to approval by majority vote of the House. The President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House serve as Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Council respectively. The Council meets in the interim between the regular sessions of the General Assembly to study previously enacted laws, suggesting any necessary amendments thereto; to recommend a program of legislation in the form of proposed bills; and to study the rules of both Houses of the General Assembly and suggest such revisions as may be necessary to expedite the business of the Legislature. To carry out these functions, the Council receives recommendations from the various State agencies, bar associations, labor unions and other organized groups and private individuals. Hearings are held on legislative proposals and the Council may subpoena witnesses and records.
RESEARCH DIVISION A Research Division was established for the purpose of making legal and factual studies of legislation or proposed legislation referred to the Division by the Council. The Division also prepares studies on any matters which may be referred to it by any committee or com- mission appointed by the Council, or by either or both Houses of the General Assembly, and with the consent of the Council, by any com- mission or committee appointed by the Governor (Code 1951, Art. 40, secs. 27-39).
