922 JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS [Mar. 23

Whereas, it is believed that the publication of the Acts
of 1900 in two volumes, one to contain all General Laws
and the other to contain all Local Laws, will be of great
convenience to the public;

Therefore, be it resolved, by the General Assembly of
Maryland, That the Committee on ‘Printing upon the
part of the Senate and the House be and they are here-
by authorized and empowered to have the Acts of 1900,
printed and published in two separate volumes, to be
designated as ‘Public General Laws,' and ‘Public Local
‘Laws,' respectively,' the Public General Laws to contain
all the general laws and Acts of incorporation, and the
Public Local Laws to contain all the local laws. Each of
which volumes is to be separately indexed.

And be it further resolved, That this resolution shall
take effect from the date of its passage.

Which was read the first time snd referred to the
Committee on Judicial Proceedings.

tions 6 B, 6 E and 6 R, of chapter 312, of the Acts of
