CONSTITUTION. 73,

credit of the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore be given
or loaned to, or in aid of any individual, association or cor-
poration; nor shall the Mayor and City Council of Balti-
more have the power to involve the City of Baltimore in the
construction of works of internal improvement, nor in grant-
ing any aid thereto, which shall involve the faith and credit
of the City, nor make any appropriation therefor, unless such
debt or credit be authorized by an Act of the General
Assembly of Maryland, and by an Ordinance of the Mayor
and City Council of Baltimore, submitted to the legal voters
of the City of Baltimore at such time and place as may be
fixed by said Ordinance, and approved by a majority of the
votes cast at such time and place, but the Mayor and City
Council may, temporarily, borrow any amount of money to
meet any deficiency in the City Treasury, or to provide for
any emergency arising from the necessity of maintaining the
police, or preserving the safety and sanitary condition of the
City, and may make due and proper arrangements and agree-
ments for the removal and extension, in whole or in part, of
any and all debts and obligations, created according to Law
before the adoption of this Constitution.

SEC. 8. All Laws and Ordinances now in force applicable
to the City of Baltimore, not inconsistent with this Article,
shall be, and they are hereby continued until changed in due
course of Law.

SEC. 9. The General Assembly may make such changes
in this Article, except in section seventh thereof, as it may
deem best; and this Article shall not be so construed or
taken as to make the political corporation of Baltimore
independent of, or free from the control which the General
Assembly of Maryland has over all such corporations in
this State.*

ARTICLE XII.

PUBLIC WORKS.

SECTION 1. The Governor, the Comptroller of the Treasury
and the Treasurer shall constitute the Board of Public Works-
in this State. They shall keep a journal of their proceed-
ings, and shall hold regular sessions in the City of Annapolis,
on the first Wednesday in January, April, July, and October,
in each year, and oftener if necessary; at which sessions they
shall hear and determine such matters as affect the Public-
Works of the State, and as the General Assembly may confer
upon them the power to decide.
