^ SEC. 60. The General Assembly of Maryland shall have
the power to provide by suitable general enactment (a) for
the suspension of sentence by the Court in criminal cases;
(b) for any form of the indeterminate sentence in criminal
cases, and (c) for the release upon parole in whatever man-
ner the General Assembly may prescribe, of convicts im-
prisoned under sentence for crimes.
" SEC. 61. (a) The General Assembly may authorize and
empower any county or any municipal corporation, by public
local law:
(1) To carry out urban renewal projects which shall be
limited to slum clearance in slum or blighted areas and
redevelopment or the rehabilitation of slum or blighted
areas, and to include the acquisition, within the boundary
lines of such county or municipal corporation, of land and
property of every kind and any right, interest, franchise,
easement or privilege therein, by purchase, lease, gift,
condemnation or any other legal means. The term "slum
area" shall mean any area where dwellings predominate
which, by reason of depreciation, overcrowding, faulty ar-
rangement or design, lack of ventilation, light or sanitary
facilities, or any combination of these factors, are detri-
mental to the public safety, health or morals. The term
"blighted area" shall mean an area in which a majority of
buildings have declined in productivity by reason of ob-
solescence, depreciation or other causes to an extent they
no longer justify fundamental repairs and adequate mainte-
nance.
(2) To sell, lease, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose
of any of said land or property, regardless of whether or
not it has been developed, redeveloped, altered or improved
and irrespective of the manner or means in or by which it
may have been acquired, to any private, public or quasi
public corporation, partnership, association, person or other
legal entity.
No land or property taken by any county or any municipal
corporation for any of the aforementioned purposes or in
connection with the exercise of any of the powers which
may be granted to such county or municipal corporation
pursuant to this section by exercising the power of eminent
domain shall be taken without just compensation, as agreed
upon between the parties, or awarded by a jury, being first
paid or tendered to the party entitled to such compensation.
