EVOLUTION OF THE MUNICIPAL
GOVERNMENT OF BALTIMORE.
BY S. S. FIELD, City Solicitor.

by >. >. FIELD, CITY solicitor.
Nearly two hundred years ago the
Act Of 1923, Chapter IL, authorized
the laying out OF a tract OF sixty
acres. called Coles Harbor, on the
north shore of the Patapsco river
east of Jones Falls, into Baltimore
Town. A Town Clerk was provided
for, to keep a record of the laying
out of the lots, but no town govern
ment.
Three years later the Act Of 1892,
Chapter IA. authorized the laying
out Of Jones Town on the north side
OF the Patapsco river, west Of Jones
Falls.
BY Act Of 1745, Chapter Q, which
recited that the two towns had built
bridge over the Northwest Branch
Of the Patapsco (better known as
Jones Falls) the two towns were
consolidated into one, called Balti-
more Town Commissioners were
provided for, who were authorized
to employ a clerk and to levy upon
the inhabitants Of the two towns
"The sum OF three pounds yearly
for the encouragement Of their
Clerk, to be paid to him." The Gem
missioners we're authorized to hold
two fairs each year and to make
rules and regulations for the town,
but It was expressly provided that
the town should have no representa-
| tive in the Legislature.
Three years later, by the Consti-
tuition Of 1776. Article 5, the inhabi-
tants of Baltimore Town were au-
thorized to send two delegates to the
House Of Delegates, and, by Article
! IA, one Senator
The Commission form OF govern
ment continued in Baltimore Town

by Act of 1896, Chapter 68, which

by the name of the City of Balti-
more, and provided for Mayor and
a City Council of two branches The
city was divided into eight wards

sisted Of two members from each
ward, elected for term Of one year

Ell Paso, March 27.-An uncon-

The bandit chief, say. Ell Paso re-
