said sixty men, so many may be appointed as sergeants as, in
the judgment of the said Board of Police Commissioners, may
be necessary, and the remainder shall bo patrolmen; and the

mates for 1919 for the additional expense so estimated by the

tory annexed by this Act to Baltimore City, and whom they
may deem properly qualified to discharge the duties of the posi-
tions. The said additional force of sixty men, when enrolled in
pursuance of this Section, shall be to all intents and purposes
and shall thereafter remain a portion of the police force of Bal-
timore City, and shall be subject to duty at any place to which
they may be ordered by said Board of Police Commissioners
of Baltimore City. On and after January 1, 1919, all the duties
heretofore resting upon the Board of Police Commissioners of
Baltimore City, with reference to the territory comprised with-

sage of this Act and the inhabitants thereof, shall rest upon the

tory comprised within the limits of Baltimore City, as estab-
lished by this Act and the inhabitants thereof.
