a comprehensive system of State control through a State Aviation

nautical activities of any kind, including the licensing of airports,
landing fields, air schools, flying clubs, air beacons and other air
navigation facilities, refusing, cancelling or suspending such licenses;
the licensing of aviators and airships; holding investigations, fixing
of penalties, and creating a State aviation fund. The law provides for
appointment of a sixth member who shall act as attorney and counsel
and to serve as such until April 1, 1939. For the purpose of stagger-

torney and Counsel shall always be chosen by a majority vote of the

The Maryland War Records Commission was appointed for the
purpose of compiling the war records of Maryland veterans. In
August, 1933, it completed and published the volumes "Maryland in the
World War" and "Military and Service Records." The latter publica-
tion included comprehensive maps of the areas in France in which
Maryland troops served in the World War.

The Commission continues to be available for the purpose of mak-
ing whatever corrections or additions to the completed records may
become necessary.
