Plan to Extend the Terms of the County
Commissioners.-This week Senator Biddi-
son, of this county, introduced in the Mary
and Senate bill to extend the terms of the
present County Commissioners of Baltimore
county until December 1911 thus having them
serve four years instead of two, for which they
were elected.
Senator Biddison explains that the same
principle is back of his bill to extend the terms
o. the County Commissioners as has inspired
The bill backed by the city administration to
extend the terms of the present City Council
men of Baltimore until May, 1911. He says
that the extension of the terms of the County
will directly inure to the bene-
fit of Baltimore city in two important and vital
matters. Between the city authorities and the
present Board of Commissioners contract has
already been made concerning the new reser-
voir which the city proposes to build in Balti
more county. The County Commissioners
and the municipal authorities have also en-
tered into perfect understanding and satisfac-
Tory arrangement III T6IeI0uC0 u Tue SoWcIdSc
work now being done by the Sewerage Com
mission. Senator Biddison points out that a
change in the Board of County Commissioners
at the end of two years might easily create diff
culties both as concerns the new reservoir and
the sewerage work. The new Board of County
Commissioners, tits claimed, might not work
in harmony with the city authorities on this
and on other matters. The present board is
familiar with all the details of the understand
ing and arrangements that have been entered
into and is prepared to cooperate and assist
the city in its work. The extension of their
terms, therefore, it is claimed, cannot help but
be an advantage to the city. 1t will also make
it necessary to hold an election for new board
of County Commissioners two years hence,
when there would undoubtedly be strenuous
fight both for the nomination and afterward at
the general election. Senator Biddison has
had this bill in contemplation for some time.
He has conferred on the subject with various
city people who believe that such step would
benefit the city in its work along these woim-
portant lines-water and sewerage.
