THE CHAIRMAN: Let's see whether I am sum-
|
|
2
|
marizing properly what you are saying. Of all the items
|
|
3
|
under 10, all the items under 10, the one that you would
|
|
4
|
probably use in the Constitution would be the one dealing
|
|
5
|
with compact and contiguous territory; is that correct?
|
|

SENATOR JAMES: Equal, compact and contiguous.

THE CHAIRMAN: All right. Let's move on.

DELEGATE HARDWICKE: May I ask something?

I think, when you are thinking of the Constitution in
|
|
10
|
terms of future growth, I would suggest that the county
|
|
11
|
lines have nothing to do with good government or the
|
|
12
|
management of government affairs. I think, for example,
|
|
13
|
river lines followed tend to be boundaries between
|
|
14
|
counties and yet that is an actual obstruction to good
|
|
15
|
management.

|
For example, between Harford County and
|
|
17
|
Baltimore County is the Little Gunpowder. The best place
|
|
18
|
to locate a sewerage plant is on a river and we're getting
|
|
19
|
ready to put one on the Little Gunpowder, and yet that
|
|
20
|
sewerage plant has to be used by Baltimore County as well
|
|
21
|
as Harford County because of the gravity flow of a
