ARCHIVIST OF THE HALL OF RECORDS 11

and the subsequent legal problems which had arisen. Copies of the
order of the Anne Arundel County Circuit Court were examined and
it was announced that while this order had made it possible for the Hall
of Records Commission to occupy our whole building for the present,
the case was not finally settled but was on appeal to the Court of Appeals.

The Commission discussed informally the possibility of enlarging
or otherwise changing its membership. Several of the members felt
that there might be some advantage in adding to the ex officio mem-
bership additional members appointed by the Governor for limited
terms. This might include members of the State and county govern-
ments who are especially interested in record keeping; for example, the
Attorney General, the State Auditor, the President of the Maryland
Court Clerks Association, and so forth. It was decided that further
study should be given to this question and that it might properly be
included in the agenda of the next meeting of the Hall of Records
Commission.

The meeting adjourned sine die at 5 p. m.
