230 MARYLAND MANUAL caveat hearings were extensively revised. The Archivist appointed by the Hall of Records Commission was designated as the Commissioner of Land Patents and assigned the responsibility of administering these procedures. In doing so, he acts independently of the duties imposed on him as Archivist (Code 1957, 1968 Repl. Vol., 1968 Supp., Art. 64, sees. 12-26). The records formerly in the custody of the Land Office have now been transferred to the Hall of Records Building. The Hall of Records Commission serves as the official depository for the duplicate copies of subdivision plats formerly sent to the Land Office as insurance against the loss of the originals (Code 1967, 1968 Repl. Vol., 1968 Supp., Art. 17, sees. 69-62). Appropriations 1969 1970 General Funds ............................................... $266,266 $313,639 Staff: 29.

Its purpose is to preserve and maintain historical, aesthetic and cultural properties, buildings, fix- tures, and furnishings pertaining to the State of Maryland. The Trust, which is a corporate body, is composed of fifteen trus- tees, of whom the Governor, the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Delegates, or their representatives, are ex officio members. The remaining trustees were originally appointed by the Governor as follows: three for one year; three for two years; three for three years; and three for four years. As their terms expired, their successors were elected by a vote of the trustees for four-year terms. The trustees serve without compensation, and elect one of their number as chairman. The trustees may also appoint a Director and such other persons as may be necessary to operate the Trust. The Trust is to make a report annually to the Governor and the General Assembly together with any recommendations to further the purpose of the Trust (Code 1967, 1966 Repl. Vol., Art. 41, sees. 181A-181K). |
