Mr. Fitzgerald has rendered most creditable service to the people
of the district and to the entire State of Maryland during the years he
spent in Annapolis.

We wish to congratulate him for a fine record as a legislator and wish
him every success and happiness for the future. Now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Delegates of Maryland, That the hearty
commendation of this House be expressed to the Honorable J. Patrick
Fitzgerald, a member of the delegation from the Fifth District of Balti-
more City, for the great record he has compiled in serving the people of
Maryland; and be it further

Resolved, That the Chief Clerk of the House be instructed to send
a copy of this Resolution to Delegate Fitzgerald.
Which was read and adopted.
