DR. LOEVY: As the situation now stands in
|
|
p.
|
Maryland1, we have a different section of the constituti6n =
|
|
3
|
and different express powers act for municipalities as we h
|
|
4
|
for home rule counties. I think we might want to think a
|
|
5
|
while .
|
|
6
|
The situation with the municipalities in Mary-
|
|
7
|
land is, there have been no new ones created since the
|
|
6
|
1954 State Legislature declared there is going to be one
|
|
9
|
class of municipalities. They left it to local option
|
|
10
|
whether to create or dissolve a municipality. I think
|
|
11
|
our present provision on municipalities is quite an en-
|
|
12
|
lightened one .
|
|
13
|
THE CHAIRMAN: You mean having the county approvt
|
|
14
|
the creation of any new municipality and therefore avoiding
|
|
15
|
any new ones being created.
|
|
16
|
DR. LOEVY: Yes, I think if one accepts the idea
|
|
17
|
that the municipality is the outgoing form of government
|
|
18
|
in Maryland and home rule charter county is the incoming
|
|
19
|
one. there is another reason —
|
|
20
|
THE CHAIRMAN: That points up a very interesting
|
|
21
|
trend which is in fact taking place throughout the State
