No. 37
(House Joint Resolution 13)

House Joint Resolution requesting the Governor, the President of
the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Delegates to reappoint
the commission to study the water resources problem in the State
of Maryland.

Whereas, There is a general problem of the supply and utilization
of water resources in the State of Maryland which, for the welfare
and benefit of the citizens of Maryland, requires prompt study; and

Whereas, The insufficient supply of water is dramatically por-
trayed in the difficulties which may be experienced by Baltimore City
and its adjacent areas in securing an adequate supply of public
drinking water; and

Whereas, In addition to this recent development, there has been
a long-time trend in the State of Maryland toward an insufficiency of
water for industrial and agricultural uses, leading to many requests
for study of the best means of developing new water resources and
also of utilizing most efficiently the present supplies; and

Whereas, There is immediate need to determine a policy of water
distribution among all classes of users; and

Whereas, the problem is of sufficient difficulty and its solution
of such immediate interest as to justify the re-appointment of the
special commission to consider and report upon it; and

Whereas, A similar resolution was passed in the 1955 General
Assembly setting up the commission; and
