CHAPTER 477.

AN ACT authorizing the publication of municipal advertise-
ments and notices and other legal advertisements and notices
in the Municipal Journal in lieu of publication in a daily
newspaper, and repealing all Acts or parts of Acts and all
Ordinances or parts of Ordinances so far as inconsistent
herewith.

SECTION 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Mary-
and, That any notice or advertisement required by any Law or
Ordinance to be published once in a daily newspaper by any
department, sub-department, municipal officer not embraced in
a department, or special commission or board of the Mayor and
City Council of Baltimore, or by any other party, may here-
after be published in the Municipal Journal, issued by the
Mayor and City Council of Baltimore, instead of in a daily
newspaper. Any such advertisement or notice required by any
Law or Ordinance to be inserted once or more than once in
two or more daily newspapers published in the City of Balti-
more may hereafter be inserted in one daily newspaper pub-
lished in said city, the number of times required by such Law
or Ordinance, and in every issue of the Municipal Journal pub-
lished during the time said advertisement or notice is running.
Any advertisement or notice which is hereafter published, as
hereinabove directed, shall have the same legal effect as if it
had been published in strict conformity to the Law or Ordinance
requiring such publication, as such Law or Ordinance existed
prior to the passage of this Act. And all Laws and parts of
Laws, and all Ordinances and parts of Ordinances inconsistent
with this Act are hereby repealed to the extent of such incon-
sistency, provided that nothing contained herein shall effect
the provision of any law requiring any advertisement to be
inserted in a paper published in the German language, and
nothing herein shall prevent the Mayor and City Council of
Baltimore, or any department, sub-department, municipal officer
not embraced in a department, or special commission or board
from inserting any advertisement or notice in one or more than
one daily newspaper published in the City of Baltimore, in
addition to the advertisement herein provided for in the Muni-
cipal Journal, whenever in its or their judgement such addit-
ional advertisement should be made.

SEC. 2. And be it further enacted, That this Act shall take
effect from the date of its passage.

Approved April 13th, 1914.
