Public Landings.

An. Code, 1924, sec. 161. 1912, sec. 105. 1904, sec. 122. 1888, sec. 118. 1823, ch. 120. sec. 1.

1890, ch. 438.

162. In all cases where the public convenience requires it, the county
commissioners shall have power to establish a public landing upon any
navigable river, canal, bay, sound or other navigable waters.

Under this section and sec. 163, implied power is conferred upon county commissioners
to construct wharf. There is no conflict between these sections and act of 1898, ch. 531,
applicable to Anne Arundel County. Under this section, the determination of what the
public convenience does or, does not require is left to the judgment of the county com-
missioners, and they are to determine the matter in exercise of their discretion. It is
not a matter with which the courts have anything to do or can in any manner control,
unless action of county commissioners was arbitrary or induced by corruption 'or fraud.
Words "public landing," defined. Chaney v. Anne Arundel County, 119 Md. 389.

It was duty of County Commissioners of Harford County to conserve and maintain
the rights of the public to the free and unencumbered enjoyment of a public landing.

ceedings shall be had as on applications to open a public road.
