AREA AND POPULATION
ADDED TO CITY

The boundary lines In the League
bill do not include any more terri
tory than Is necessary to take in the
strictly overflow population from the
city and a reasonable space for fu-
ture DEVELOPMENT for residential and
manufacturing purposes: they in
clude from Baltimore county 46.5
square miles, leaving in that county
6003 square miles, and from Anne
Arundel county AS square miles,
leaving in that county 1853 square
miles.
The population which will be added
to the city is estimated at about
10000, leaving population in Balti-
more county 20 per cent. greater
than Allegany county, the next Iarg-
est county in the State. and leaving
population in Anne Arundel Coun-
ty 40 per cent. greater than that of
Dorchester county, the most popu-
lOu5 county on the Eastern Shore.
The aSScSSable value of property
and the population which will be
transferred from these counties to
TN" city is only q part of the ad-
ditional property values and popu-
latiOn which these counties have re-
ceived directly from their proximity
to Baltimore city. and these counties
Will continue to reap q benefit, both
i'm wealth and population, from near
ness to Baltimore city, which will
soon make UP to them for what Is
proposed to be taken into Baltimore
city under the League bill.

PROVISION FOR HOME RULE
TN THE NEW TERRITORY.

nder the Constitution. Article 2
Sections and 4. Baltimore city eau
not have more than its present NUN
Der Of members i'm the House OF
Delegates, viz: tWenty-fOur t2D: and
It's present number Of Senators viz:
four a.. Hence the new territory
could not, without an amendment
or the Constitution, he given any
separate representative in the Sen
ate or House Of Delegates. Errt the
bill provides that the new territory
shall be divided into four a. wards,
and each of these wards is added 10
one of the four Legislative districts
or 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
Tie SIX members Of the House from
that district, as the voters in anv OF
the present wards forming part OF
the district. The bill gives to each
one or these wards a member or its
own In the First Branch City Coun-
Gil and to the four wards two mem
bers of the Second Branch, and
1t gives to the voters in these
wards the same voice in the seicc-
ton Of the Mayor. tile President Of
the Second Branch City Council ana
TN" 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 proDosed
to be added to Baltimore city nrac-
tlcally without voice or representa-
ton In the county government, The
till provides that the territory ia h~
added shall remain in the same Con
Gressional districts as at present.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1917-10-05

whether or not it would be wise and
for the benefit of the entire State to
permit this extension Of the city
limits.
cD Because it is MATTER
DIV (WHICH AFFECTS THE ENTIRE
STATE and. therefore. it ought not
to be decided simply by the people
who live III the territory to he an
neXed-Who are but small per
ccntage OF the entire people.
o. Because in the great majority
of cases in our own State and else
where the practice has been to eN-
tend the boundaries of cities WITH
OUT A REFERENDUM.
TO CREATE CITIES, MARK
OUT THEIR BOUNDARIES,
AND INCREAS THEIR
BOUNDARIES, HAVE AL
WAYS BEEN CONSIDERED
QUESTIONS PECULIARLY
FOR THE LEGISLATURE TO
DECIDE.
In HUNTER VS.. PITTSBURGH.
the Supreme Court of the United
States said C207 L. S. 1850:
THE State. therefore. at it's pleas
ure, may modify or withdraw all
such powers, may take without COM
pcnSation such property, hold it it
self. oraVcst it in other agencies,
EXPAND OR CONTRACT THE
TERRITORIAL AREA. UNITE THE
WHOLE OR PART OF 1T WITH
ANOTHER MUNICIPALITY, repeal
the charter and destroy the cor
poration. ALL THIS MAY BE
DONE CONDITIONALLY OR UN-
WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF THE
CITIZENS. OR EVEN AGAINST
THEIR PROTEST.
By the Act of 1870, Chapter 3l4. the
limits OF Frederick city were ex-
tended. WITHOUT ANY REFER
ENDUM. A man named Groh as
sailed the act in court and made
the fervent appeal Which Is now made
by the ''antis'' that you could not
take a man from county govern
ment to a city government without
his consent; that it was unjust and
unfair-taxation without representa-
ton. The Court Of Appeals held that
the act was valid, and said GA Md.
7S):
That tho Legislature had the
power to pass the act is equally
clear. Tho Legislature has the power
to create municipal corporations, to
amend their charters, enlarge or
diminish their powers. extend or
limit their boundaries. consolidate

CONSTITUTION DOES NOT
REQUIRE A REFERENDUM.

That the Constitution does not re
quire a submission to the voters in
the territory to be annexed has been
expressly decided by the Court OF
Appeals of Maryland in the case Of
DAILY VS.. MORGAN. So Md. 466,
where the Court say:
The Legislature has, therefore, in
our opinion, the same power now
which it, has always exercised. to
extend the limits of Baltimore city
by including therein parts of Balti-
more county, and this. too. with or
without the consent of a majority of
the voters residing within the dis
tricts annexed"
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1917-10-05
PROVISION FOR POLICING
THE NEW TERRITORY

The bill provides that it shall ne
the duty of the Police Commission
ers OF Baltimore city to maintain
public peace and order In the new
territory as soon as added to Baltl-
more city. Just as In the old terri
tory. and it will be their duty to
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 add
ton of sixty 900 policemen to the
present force in Baltimore city. 1t
ts supposed that this will be ample,
az Baltimore county now has only
fifty-tWo (52) patrolmen for the Ell
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 If the Board of Police
Commissioners found that the sixty
800 additional men were not stuff
Client 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 50 men shall be put
In the new territory: II simply pro
vides an addition OF 50 men 10 the
police force OF Baltimore city and
requires the Police Commissioners to
maintain order in the new territory
AZ In every other part Of Baltimore
city.

in population and in wealth means
wealth of the State. The city is the
chief market for the products of the
State. The bigger the city the bet
ter the market. The advantages Of

Baltimore are open to the entire
State. The city if permitted to grow
