(House Bill 604)

AN ACT to authorize the State of Maryland to pay a pension
to former Circuit Court Judge Linwood L. Clark and to
correct an unintentional discrimination in the Judges'
Pension Act of 1943.

WHEREAS, it was the legislative intent to preserve vested
pension rights under Charter 390 of the Acts of 1941
to all former Judges when the General Assembly of Mary-
land enacted Chapter 966 of the Acts of 1943, and

WHEREAS, the language used in Chapter 966 of the Acts

Clark the same pension of $2,000.00 per year as now is paid
