Laws of Maryland, title "Baltimore County", sub-title "Daylight
Saving Time", be and it is hereby repealed and re-enacted, with

90. For the period of each year from two A. M. of the last Sun-
day in April until two A. M. of the last Sunday in September, the
County [Commissioners] Council of Baltimore County [are] is
authorized and empowered to fix, by ordinance or resolution, the
official time of said county at one hour in advance of the standard

however, that the County Council by law passed not less than fifteen
days before the change would become effective, may extend the
period during which the one-hour variation from standard time

Any such extension may be provided only if other counties, munici-
palities or sections of the United States shall have made such a
change, and in the opinion of the County Council thereby have
caused inconvenience and annoyance to the commercial, economic,
industrial or social affairs of the residents of Baltimore County. If
the County [Commissioners] Council so advance the official time of
said county, all courts, public offices, legal and official proceedings
insofar as the same are subject to or under the control of said Coun-
ty [Commissioners] Council, shall be regulated, thereby, and all time
shown by the public clocks shall agree therewith.
