ARTICLE XII.
PUBLIC WORKS.
SECTION 1. The Governor, the Comptroller of the
Treasury and the Treasurer, shall constitute the Board of
Public Works in this State. They shall keep a journal of
their proceedings, and shall hold regular sessions in the
City of Annapolis, on the first Wednesday in January, April,
July and October, in each year, and oftener, if necessary;
at which sessions they shall hear and determine such mat-
ters as affect the Public Works of the State, and as the Gen-
eral Assembly may confer upon them the power to decide.
1 SEC. 2. They shall exercise a diligent and faithful su-
pervision of all Public Works in which the State may be
interested as Stockholder or Creditor, and shall appoint the
Directors in every Railroad and Canal Company, in which
the State has the legal power to appoint Directors, which
said Directors shall represent the State in all meetings of
the Stockholders of the respective Companies for which
they are appointed or elected. They shall require the Direc-
tors of all said Public Works to guard the public interest,
and prevent the establishment of tolls which shall discrim-
inate against the interest of the citizens or products of this
State, and from time to time, and as often as there shall be
any change in the rates of toll on any of the said Works, to
furnish the said Board of Public Works a schedule of such
modified rates of toll, and so adjust them as to promote the
agricultural interests of the State; they shall report to the
General Assembly at each regular session, and recommend
such legislation as they may deem necessary and requisite
to promote or protect the interests of the State in the said
Public Works; they shall perform such other duties as may
be hereafter prescribed by Law, and a majority of them
shall be competent to act. The Governor, Comptroller and
Treasurer shall receive no additional salary for services
rendered by them as members of the Board of Public
Works.
2 SEC. 3. The Board of Public Works is hereby author-
ized, subject to such regulations and conditions as the Gen-
eral Assembly may from time to time prescribe, to sell the
State's interest in all works of Internal Improvement,
whether as a stockholder or a creditor, and also the State's
interest in any banking corporation, receiving in payment
the bonds and registered debt now owing by the State,
equal in amount to the price obtained for the State's said
interest.
