PROVISION FOR HOME RULE
IN THE NEW TERRITORY.

Under the Constitution. Article &
sections and T. Baltimore city cam
not have more than its present num-
per of members in the House OF
delegates. viz: twenty-four go: and
its present number OF Senators. VIZ:
Tour 90. Hence the new territory
could not. without an amendment
OF the Constitution. be given any
separate representative In the Sem
ate or House of Delegates. But the
Dill provides that the new territory
shall be divided into four ca wards.
and each of these wards is added to
one OF the four Legislative districts
of Baltimore city and the voters in
each of these wards will have the
same voice in the election of the
senator from that district. and of
the six members of the House from
that district. as the voters in any OF
the district. The bill gives 10 each
one OF these wards a member of its
own in the First Branch City Coun-
ell and to the four wards two mem
Ii gives to the voters in these
wards the same voice in the seIec-
ton of the Mayor. the President OF
the Second Branch City Council and
the comptroller which is now en-
Joyed by the voters in the present
wards of Baltimore city. Thus the
voters in this territory are given a
measure of home rule which they
have never heretofore enjoyed. be-
cause practically all of the county
officers and the Delegates from the
counties to the Legislature have been
chosen from other parts of the coun-
ties. leaving the territory proposed
to be added to Baltimore city prac-
tically without voice or representa-
ton in the county government The
bill provides that the territory to be
added shall remain in the same Con-
gressional districts as at present.

BENEFITS TO THE CITY.

The great benefits which Will ac-
crue to the city are.
(a) To give the city it's proper
standing in the census report and
thus aid In attracting TO Baltimore
people from all over the country and
in factories and other industries
around our harbor.
OBJ To promote a more prompt and
effective development of this ter
ritory Immediately around Baltimore
and around the harbor. by having
its development made according 70
The metropolitan plans OF the City
Planning Commission and the City
Topogra phical Survey Commission.
To have its advantages advertised
b., the Municipal Factory site Com
mission. by the trades bodies of Bal
timore. and by the great railroad
corporations which have their ter
minals here and are interested In
trying to bring new industries and
new people TO baitiinore' Inc
Baltimore county nor Anne arundel
county is in, TO make the most OF
this harbor: to develop II and ex-
pand it's commerce for the benefit
not only of baltimore city but of the
entire Stat OF Maryland.
Co The city can better protect its
health by having this territory and
preventing the pollution OF streams
that run from this territory into the
city. and extending the benefit OF its
trained Health Department. and OF
its sewerage system and water Sup
ply out into the closely built-up Sec
tons which are taken in by this bill.
Id The city can better protect
fsne peace and good order Of the
State by extending the jurisdiction
of its efficient metropolitan police
force over the outlying closely built
up suburbs.
The benefit TO Baltimore OF having
it's proper standing in the census IS
not merely matter or pride. The
Federal census Is the greatest ad-
vertising medium in existence. II
goes into every crossroads and every
home ia the United States. The only
way In which a city can grow rap
idly Is by attracting 70 IL people
from outside, especially the ambitious
young men who grow UP IN the ccun-
try and in the small towns and when
they reach manhood want TO 20 10

PROVISION FOR POLICING
THE NEW TERRITORY

The bin provides that IL shall be
the duty of the Police Commission
ers OF Baltimore city to maintain
public peace and order in the new
territ ~ as soon as added to Balti-
more city. just as in the old terri
tory, and IL will be their duty 10
put as many policemen in the new
territory as may be necessary for the
purpose of maintaining peace and
good order. To enable them to do
this. the bill provides for an addi-
ton of sixty 200 policemen to the
present force in Baltimore city. 1t
Is supposed that this will be ample.
as Baltimore county now has only
fifty-two t50 patrolmen for the en-
tire county and territory to be added
TO Baltimore city contains less than
half the population. and only about
one-twelfth of the area of Baltimore
county; but il the Board of Police
Commissioners found that the sixty
900 additional men were not suffi-
Gent they would be obliged under
their duty to put as many more as
might be necessary in that terri
tory. The bill does not provide that
the additional 60. men shall be nut
in the new territory: it simply pro
vides an addition of go men 70 the
police force of Baltimore CITY and
requires the Police Commissioners TO
maintain order in the new territory
as in every other part of Baltimore
city.
