it is -an optional thing which means you still have to have
|
|
2
|
a body of general law governing local units which didn't

embrace this procedure.

DR. BURDETTE; Why do you consider it to be
|
|
5
|
necessary to go through some kind of charter process in a
|
|
6
|
. state which has an existing function or existing operation?
|
|
7
|
If you create a new state, I could see your point. But
|
|
8
|
if we should say we adopt your theory, why couldn't the
|
|
9
|
present body of County Coircniss loners have these powers
|
|
10
|
without having to go through some situation of taking up
|
|
11
|
with the county government?
|
|
12
|
DEAN FOXDHAM: You could say the charter making
|
|
13
|
processes would involve election either to keep the present
|
|
14
|
form of government or change it.
|
|
15
|
DR. BURDETTE: Why couldn't you invest the
|
|
16
|
powers, I agree thoroughly it should be possible, but
|
|
17
|
suppose there were, this is a great possibility, take a
|
|
18
|
county like 'Calvert for illustration, great inertia on
|
|
19
|
doing anything at all. Why not simply devolve upon the
|
|
20
|
Calvert County Commissioners those home rule powers?

DEAN FOHDHAM: You can, but what about structure'
