may be necessary to properly keep the dockets and records of
arrests and convictions. Such records shall be kept in such
form and under such plan as may be jointly agreed upon by
the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles and the Justice of the
Peace of the Traffic Court. Salaries paid to police sergeants
and clerks designated for duty in the Traffic Court shall be
paid by the Board of Police Commissioners out of funds re-
ceived for that purpose from the Commissioner of Motor
Vehicles. The Governor shall also appoint, from the City of
Baltimore at large, an additional Justice of the Peace who
shall be a member of the Bar of the Supreme Bench of Balti-
more City, who shall receive a salary of five hundred dollars
($500.00) per annum, payable quarterly, and whose juris-
diction, duties and powers shall be the same as those conferred
upon and required of the Justice of the Peace of the Traffic
Court, and who shall be designated by the Governor to sit in
said Court in the absence by illness or otherwise, and at other
times, upon the request of and in the place of the said Justice
of the Peace of the Traffic Court; provided that the Justice
so designated shall not be required to give bond in a sum
greater than that required of other Justices of the Peace by
Section 624 of Article 4 of the Code of Public Local Laws of
Maryland. In the event that such justices are absent through
illness or otherwise, the Board of Police Commissioners shall
have power to provide a substitute in the same manner and at
the same rate of compensation, as substitutes may now be pro-
vided for police justices regularly assigned to station-houses
in Baltimore City.

All necessary expenses for the operation of the Traffic Court,
including the salaries herein provided for, shall be paid out
of monies appropriated therefor by the General Assembly with
the approval of said Commissioner and the Governor.
