[See page image for strike-through]

25A. IF IN ANY YEAR ANY LICENSEE UNDER THE PRO-
VISIONS OF THIS ARTICLE SHALL not be able to conduct the full
number of authorized days of racing because of inclement weather
conditions, the Racing Commission may authorize that licensee during
the next succeeding year to conduct races for the day or days so
missed, in addition to the normal number of days for that year.

SEC. 2. And be it further enacted, That this Act is hereby declared
to be an emergency measure and necessary for the immediate preser-
vation of the public health and safety and having been passed by a
yea and nay vote, supported by three-fifths of all the members elected
to each of the two Houses of the General Assembly of Maryland, the
same shall take effect from the date of its passage.

Approved February 22, 1955.

CHAPTER 35
(House Bill 44)

AN ACT authorizing and directing the Maryland Racing Commission
to award one additional day of racing to Baltimore Trotting Races,
Inc., during the year 1955, said additional day to be in lieu of one
day on which inclement weather prevented racing during the year
1954.

WHEREAS, Pursuant to Section 17 of Article 78B of the Annotated
Code of Maryland (1951 Edition) the Maryland Racing Commission
is authorized to award not more than twenty days of racing at any
one track where trotting and pacing meetings are held; and

WHEREAS, During the year 1954 Baltimore Trotting Races, Inc.,
operating the Baltimore Raceway, was unable to complete its full
twenty days of racing by reason of inclement weather conditions; and

WHEREAS, It is only equitable that the track should be authorized
to hold an additional day of racing during the year 1955 in order to
make up for the one day lost by reason of inclement weather condi-
tions; now therefore

SECTION 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Maryland,
That the Maryland Racing Commission is hereby authorized and
directed to award one additional day for racing during the year 1955
