CHAPTER 365
(House Bill 739)

AN ACT to repeal and re-enact, with amendments, Section 4 of
Article 94 of the Annotated Code of Maryland (1951 Edition), title
"Time—Standard", amending the powers of the Board of County
Commissioners of Allegany County as to the fixing of dates for
daylight saving time.

Section 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Maryland,
That Section 4 of Article 94 of the Annotated Code of Maryland
(1951 Edition), title "Time—Standard", be and it is hereby repealed
and re-enacted, with amendments, to read as follows:

4. Notwithstanding the provisions hereinabove in this Article or
elsewhere in the laws of this State, the variation from Standard Time
known commonly as Daylight Saving Time shall be effective in
Allegany County as in this section provided. From two o'clock A. M.
on the last Sunday in April until two o'clock A. M. on the last Sunday
in September of each year, the official time throughout Allegany
County shall be advanced one hour [; and all]; provided, however,
that the Board of County Commissioners of Allegany County, by
Resolution, 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 shall be effective in any year or years.
The extension may be to change the advance in time up to two o'clock
A. M. on the last Sunday in March or back to two o'clock A. M. on
the last Sunday in October, or both such changes or any portion or
portions of either. Any such extension may be provided only if other
counties, municipalities or sections of the United States shall have
made such a change and, in the opinion of the Board of County Com-
missioners of Allegany County, thereby have caused inconvenience
and annoyance to the commercial, economic, industrial or social
affairs of the residents of Allegany County. All courts, public offices,
and legal and official proceedings, in so far as the same are subject
to or under the control of the County Commissioners of Allegany
County, or of the governing body of every municipal corporation
therein, shall be regulated thereby, and all time shown by the public
clocks shall agree therewith.

Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That this Act shall take effect
June 1, 1957.

Approved March 25, 1957.
