Whereas the Penn-Garrett Coal Mining Company of Garrett

General Assembly of Maryland, Acts of 1906, chapter 714, and
immediately thereafter filed a certified copy of its Act of incor-
poration with the State Tax Commissioner, and organized in
accordance with the provisions of said Act by the election
of a board of directors, which further organized by the election
of a president, a vice-president, a secretary and treasurer, and
other officers and agents which were deemed necessary for the
proper conduct and management of the business for which
the said company was incorporated, and has issued the full
amount of its authorized capital stock, being one thousand
(1,000) shares of the par value of one hundred ($100.00) dol-
lars per share, amounting to the sum of one hundred thousand
($100,000.00) dollars, and has acquired valuable coal mining
properties, rights and franchises in the county of Garrett and

the powers of the stockholders and directors thereof; now,
therefore,

SECTION 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Mary-
land, That the name of the Penn-Garrett Coal Mining Company

ter 714, be changed to the name of The Western Maryland Coal
and Coke Company, and by the last mentioned name shall have
perpetual succession and may adopt a corporate seal and

pressly declared that the change of the name hereby made shall
in no wise effect the rights, privileges and powers of said cor-
poration and shall in no wise impair or effect existing con-
tracts, engagements, debts and liabilities of said corporation
with or to persons, or of other persons with or to said corpora-
tion.
