All State, county, and incorporated municipal law enforcement agencies are required to meet these stand- ards. The Commission must also approve all training schools offering such training as to curriculum, facilities, equipment, and standards of operation and qualification of instructors. The Commission is also to encourage and promote educational courses in universities, colleges, and other educational institutions in the State (Code 1957, 1965 Repl.

Box 717, Baltimore 21203) The State first took action to improve Maryland roads in 1898, when the General Assembly ordered the Maryland Geological Survey Com- mission to make a survey of State roads and write a report. In 1904 the first law authorizing State aid for road building put this program under the supervision of the Highway Division of the Survey Commis- sion, which performed this function until the creation of the State Roads Commission by Chapter 141, Acts of 1908 (Code 1957, 1964 Repl. Vol., Art. 89B, sees. 1-235). The State Roads Commission consists of seven members appointed by the Governor for terms of four years. The Chairman of the Com- mission, also known as the Director of Highways, is appointed from the State at large. One member is appointed from the Eastern Shore; one from Anne Arundel, Calvert, Charles, or St. Mary's counties; one from Allegany, Carroll, Frederick, Garrett, or Washington counties; one from Montgomery or Prince George's counties; one from Balti- more, Harford, or Howard counties; and one from the City of Balti- more. The six members are referred to as Regional Commissioners. These serve part-time, while the Chairman-Director devotes full time to his duties. At least two of the members must belong to whichever of the two leading political parties in the State is not the party of the Governor. The Chairman holds office at the pleasure of the Governor. |
