II. BALTIMORE CITY.

Note: When Baltimore City became a separate governmental
entity, divorced from all county connections, it maintained the offi-
cers characteristic of Maryland county government at that time with
the exception of those in the Executive branch who were called Mayor
and Council rather than Board of County Commissioners. Since that
time the expansion of the City has brought about a high degree of
specialization in the executive and administrative agencies so that the
present government of Baltimore, with the exception of the tradi-
tional county offices and functions, bears little resemblance to the
government of any of the counties..

It has been thought advisable for the purpose of the MARYLAND
MANUAL to list, first, the traditional county officers which have been
carried over into the City government and second those which are
characteristic only of the City. This distinction is, however, difficult
to make in the cases of more recent functions of local government
such as health, welfare and education and in these cases these agen-
cies have been listed with the traditional county officers for the sake
of convenience..
