buildings and the repairs should
be undertaken, and provides for
full investigation and open hear
ings in this connection. This
would certainly seem to be a
safer and more reasonable way
to apply the money than to state
arbitrarily in the bill, i'll advance
OF any official investigation or
hearing. just where it shall go.
II these two official bodies, rep
resenting the people OF the
county. cannot be fully trusted
to wisely and properly exercise
their discretion in the peoples
behalf. il Is hard to conceive who
could.
Both OF the above measures
were introduced by Senator
Brady. as was also the bill re-
curing all real property to be
transferred on the County AS
scssment Books before deeds are
received for record This bill
was also introduced by Delegate
Atwell in the House and was
among those in the list recon-
mended by the County Commis-
sioners. 1t will cure an evil that
has existed for several years in
connection with the transfer of
titles TO property and will tend
to keep the Land Records and
the Assessment Books uniform.
In the House. the measures
that finally passed related most
~ 10 the City Of Annapolis, al
though one is Of statewide inn
portance as well. This is the bill
introduced by Delegate Wiegard,
providing for war memorial to
the men and women of Maryland
who served in the World War.
OF the meritorious bills affect
ing Annapolis that passed both
Houses. were Delegate Holla-
lays bills providing for the APP
pointment OF a commission to see
about getting a sewerage dis
posal plant for Annapolis and vi
cinity and for Government prop
erty hereabout; the bill propos-
ing the annexation OF PASSPORT
and Germantown with referen-
dun to the communities affected.
and the bill putting the conduct
OF municipal registrations and
elections under the Mayor and
City Council as Board OF SUI
pervisors.
Another mcritorious local
measure that went to final pas
sage was Delegate Wiegard's bill
providing for the use by the City
OF the unexpended balance of
about $l.;00 left over from the
bond issue of 1906 for street i'm
Drovements.
Among the other local bills
finally enacted are several also of
4 salutary nature, notably Dele
gate Rodgers bill restoring
widows pensions for worthy
cases; 50 that. altogether. it may
be fairly said that the sum total
of the work of the Legislature. so
far as it affects Annapolis and
Anne ARUNDEL county, and con
sidering both the positive and the
negative sides OF the record.
