Mayor v. Radecke, 49 Md. 217. Garrett v. Janes, 65 Md. 260. Townsend, Grace &
Co. v. Epstein, 93 Md. 537. Bostock v. Sams, 95 Md. 400. Storck v. Mayor, &c.,
Baltimore, 101 Md. 476.

In the Storck case, above cited, the Act of 1904, ch. 616, was declared inoperative
as to that part of the city outside of the ''Burnt District." The first proviso in sec-
tion 6 of the City Charter, title ''General Powers," sub-title ''Buildings." as re-
enacted by said Act, was declared void for uncertainty, and the second proviso
thereof void as being arbitrary and unreasonable. The object of the Act of 1906,
ch. 797, was to modify the paragraph relating to buildings so as to conform to the
decision of the Court of Appeals in the Storck case.

For further cases relating to building matters, covered by the paragraph of sec-
tion 6 in relation to buildings, sec,—
