Maryland has all these natural resources,the Chesapeake
Bay and the beautiful river, and we cannot in all instances
and under all circumstances, have adjoining territories,
the further question is, do you think that we ought to
press it in the Constitutional language where the
leqislature cannot act becauso of language in the Consti-
tution that restricts them from doing the kind of job
that they would like to do and be fair to everybody |
