The Governor, without Senate confirmation, appoints one State Em-
ployment Commissioner for a term of six years from October 1, 1920.
The rest of the staff are in the classified service.

The State Employment Commissioner is charged with administering
the Merit System Law of the State. (Art. 64A, page 2160, Annotated
Code of Maryland—Bagby.) The law gives the Commissioner general
control of employment and personnel matters so far as the classified
service is concerned.

The Merit System Law provides that the Commissioner shall classify
positions in the classified service, pass upon the qualifications of appli-
cants, and certify eligibles when vacancies are to be filled, recommend
minimum and maximum salary ranges with intermediate salary rates
for each class of position, pass upon transfers, promotions, reinstate-
ments, leaves of absence, and other actions affecting the status of clas-
sified employees, provide for the removal of employees and hold hear-
ings when charges are filed by an appointing authority or a citizen,
prescribe the standards of performance and the form and scope of the
personnel records that appointing authorities keep, and investigate the
efficiency of employees in the classified service, and make recommen-
dations lor increased efficiency and economy. The Commissioner is
also required to. check payrolls in advance of the payment of salaries
to employees in the classified service, and certify to the legality of
the employment of such employees.

By Act of the General Assembly, Session of 1922, Part XVI, Chap-
ter 29, there was established the Department of State Employment and
Registration, to be composed of the State Employment Commission and
the various examining and licensing boards of the State, with such ad-
ditional boards as may hereafter be provided for, the head of this de-
partment to be the State Employment Commissioner, and to be known
as the Commissioner of State Employment and Registration.

Under the provisions of this section of the Act, the State Board of
Electrical Examiners and Supervisors and the State Board of Examiners
of Moving Picture Machine Operators, by authority of the Board of
Public Works, have their official office at 22 Light Street at the office
of the State Employment Commission and transact their official busi-
ness there.

The Fourth Annual Report, giving in detail the activities of the
Commission for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1924, was issued
on January I, I925, in accordance with the provisions of the Merit
System Law. The rules of the Commission were revised, approved by
the Governor, and adopted as of December 1, 1924, and the Merit
System Law and the revised rules were printed in pamphlet form and
distributed with the Fourth Annual Report.
