The War Memorial Commission was created in
1924 (Chapter 537, Acts of 1924). The Commis-
sion has custody and supervision of the War Me-
morial Building and the War Memorial Plaza,
which were erected to honor the men of Maryland
who fought in World War I. The maintenance
cost of this facility is shared equally by the State
and the City of Baltimore. The building is open
and available for meetings of veterans' groups and
patriotic societies, and for civic gatherings, pro-
vided that no collection or donation is taken or
any admission charged.
The Commission consists of ten members. Five
are appointed by the Secretary of General Services
with the approval of the Governor, and five are
appointed by the Mayor of Baltimore City. Each
member serves a five-year term and must be a
Maryland war veteran (Code State Government
Article, sees. 9-801 through 9-807).
