PHILLIPS LEE GOLDSBOROUGH, GOVERNOR. 30
CHAPTER 6.
AN ACT to repeal sections 16, 17 and 18 of Chapter 275 of
the Acts of the General Assembly of Maryland, passed at
the January Session, 1896, and to repeal section 18 of Chap-
ter 372 of the Acts of the General Assembly of Maryland,
passed at the January Session, 1898.
WHEREAS, In 1896 a local la.w was enacted creating a special
board of six trustees for the Annapolis district school with
absolute power of appointment and removal of the teachers
of said district school without appeal; and in 1898 a supple-
mentary act was passed which provided for the establishment
of a high school in the City of Annapolis by the trustees
and county school board conjointly; and
WHEREAS, In 1904 a general law was enacted intended to estab-
lish a uniform school system throughout the state, and pro-
viding for the repeal of all laws or parts of laws inconsistent
therewith, the said local law creating a special board of six
trustees for the Annapolis district school being one of them;
and
WHEREAS, The Court of Appeals has just decided that said
local law was not repealed by said general law; and
WHEREAS, Under the interpretation of the State Board of Edu-
cation the Annapolis district school is now and has been for
sometime conducted under the system of three trustees, which
is the same system that prevails in every other school in the
State, and is working harmoniously and to the entire satis-
faction of the school authorities and patrons of said district
school; and to require the county school board now to appoint
a board of six trustees might work confusion and possible
injury to the said district school; and
WHEREAS, In order to permit the said district school to con-
tinue undisturbed the present system of three trustees under
the general law, under which system it is now being success-
fully conducted, it is necessary to repeal sections 16, 17 and
18 of Chapter 275 of the laws passed by the General Assem-
bly of Maryland in 1896, and also section 18 of Chapter
of the Acts of 1898.
