CHAPTER 22

AN ACT to repeal and re-enact, with amendments, Section 38 (d) of
Article 101 of the Annotated Code of Maryland (1957 Edition),
title "Workmen's Compensation", sub-title "Claims and Compen-
sation; Benefits", changing an incorrect cross reference in the law

and should be changed in order to make it a cross reference to sub-
section (b); now, therefore
