I .did want to make that preliminary observation,

Another preliminary observation is, 1 feel
|
|
3
|
quite inadequate in that I lack the understanding of your
|
|
4
|
system. I have learned something about it here, but I
|
|
5
|
don't understand it adequately. I speak more in broad
|
|
6
|
general terms than with any conviction that what I might
|
|

say might really be appropriate for Maryland, I don't

know.

Some of the terminology that has been used is
|
|

a little unusual to me. You spoke of mandatory home rule.
|

|
Is it conceived, Dr. Loevy, that this viould be mandatory
|
|
12
|
home rule? Would you describe it as that?
|
|

|
DR. LOEVY: No. When we are speaking of man- .
|
|

|
datory home rule, what we are talking about is that each
|
|
15
|
local subdivision has to create a home rule type govern-
|
|
16
|
ment either through a charter or through a code. This is h
|
|
17
|
rule powers.

DEAN FORDHAM: I would interpret this as option-

DR. LOEVY: Yes.

DR. BURDETTE: I think Dr. Loevy is limiting it
