ALBERT C. RITCHIE, GOVERNOR, 807

Commissioners of Baltimore County, " the said sections being
codified as Sections 124 and 125 of Offutt's Revised Code of
Public Local Laws of Baltimore County (1928 Edition),
declaring the legislative intent with reference to Chapter 37
of the Acts of 1922, and providing that said Act and this
Act shall not affect the acts done or which may be done by
the County Commissioners of Baltimore County, between
June 1, 1922, and until their successors shall have been
elected and qualified.

WHEREAS, Chapter 2 of the Acts of 1920, amending certain
sections of the Baltimore County Code (1916 Edition), for the
purpose of changing the fiscal year of said county, continued
the then existing provision for five County Commissioners;

and

WHEREAS, Chapters 28 and 49 of the Acts of 1920 amended
Section 115 of the Baltimore County Code (1916 Edition), for
the purpose of reducing the number of County Commissioners
from five to three; and

WHEREAS, The General Assembly of 1922 amended Section
115 of said Baltimore County Code relating to the duties of the
County Commissioners, but inadvertently amended said section
as it had been amended by Chapter 2 of the Acts of 1920 and
not as it had been amended by Chapters 28 and 49 of said
Acts of 1920; and

WHEREAS, The General Assembly of 1922 clearly indicated
that it did not intend to continue the provision for five County
Commissioners by providing that nothing in said Chapter 37
of the Acts of 1922 should repeal or modify Chapters 28 and

49 of the Acts of 1920; and

WHEREAS, In pursuance of this declared legislative intent
and in accordance with the provisions of Chapters 28 and 49
of the Acts of 1920, only three County Commissioners have
been elected in Baltimore County since 1920; and

WHEREAS, In order to remove any doubt as to the confusion
caused by the inadvertent inclusion of the provision in Chapter

37 of the Acts of 1922 for five County Commissioners instead
of three; therefore,
