The ninth question is a study of how other
|
|
3
|
states have solved the problem of the creation of new
|
|
4
|
units of local government.
|
|

|
That will tie in a great deal, of course, with
|
|
6
|
questions 2 and 3. Nevertheless, I think we may well want
|
|
7
|
to, as we move with questions 2 and 3, give further
|
|
8
|
assignment, so that we boil it down to the pinpointing of
|
|
9
|
solutions which have been adopted insofar as other states
|
|
10
|
in solving the problem of local government creation.

MR. THOMPSON: Mr. Chairman, I am not certain
|
|
12
|
exactly what is meant by units of local government, but I
|
|
13
|
know one interpretation which might be placed upon it would
|
|
14
|
be to include new town legislation, for example. Now,
|
|
15
|
this does exist in other states.
|
|
16
|
I think it is extremely important in the State
|
|
17
|
of Maryland at this time. We have already seen the prob-
|
|
18
|
lems created by the development of an area such as
|
|
19
|
Columbia, in Howard County. What should be its form of
|
|
20
|
government? It seems to me that any constitutional pro-
|
|
21
|
vision should at least be of sufficient breadth and scope
