II. BALTIMORE CITY

When Baltimore City became a separate governmental entity, divorced
from all county connections, it maintained the officers 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 adminis-
trative agencies so that the present government of Baltimore, with the
exception of the traditional county offices and functions, bears little resem-
blance to the government of most counties. Nevertheless, there seems to be
sufficient resemblance between the city charter and the charters of Mont-
gomery and Baltimore counties to justify grouping the city offices in cate-
gories similar to those worked out for the charter counties. Information
about the methods of appointment and terms of office of the traditional
county officers will be found on pp. 335-338. Such information about all
other city officials will be found in the footnotes.
