sewerage plant.

So, consequently, I would suggest you have
|
|
3
|
districts. For example, the Eastern Shore as a district,
|
|
4
|
Metropolitan Baltimore as a district, Metropolitan
|
|
5
|
Washington as a district, Western Maryland as a district,
|
|
6
|
Southern Maryland as a district, and you have broad
|
|
7
|
representation from these areas and that these units
|
|
8
|
not only be the basis for representation within the
|
|
9
|
legislature, but that they be actually the basis for
|
|
10
|
smaller units of government within the State.

THE CHAIRMAN: This is a common expression
|
|
12
|
which we will certainly record as being significant.

SENATOR HUGHES: You are suggesting doing
|
|
14
|
away with counties altogether, are you not?
|
|
15
|
DELEGATE HARDWICKE: Yes, I am.
|
|

|
THE CHAIRMAN: Gentlemen, let me remind you
|
|
17
|
again that tonight there is no attempt to get a consensus
|
|
18
|
but rather to get ideas. So, let's not be disturbed if
|
|
19
|
we don't get any further --
|
|
20
|
SENATOR CURRAN: One point further. Are we
|
|
21
|
intending to gravitate towards a strong central government
