J. MILLARD TAWES, Governor                    2155

Whereas, the disrespectful habits of the traveling public have not
improved although stringent laws have been passed to prohibit such
littering of public places and many other such laws have been pro-
posed; and

Whereas, stringent laws do, in fact, prohibit such littering of
public places and provide penalties for violations; and

Whereas, the existing laws have not been enforced, otherwise the
problem would not have grown to the dimensions which it has
reached; now therefore, be it

Resolved by the General Assembly of Maryland, That the Governor
be and hereby is requested to put new vigor in the attempts to correct
the problem presented by directing the heads of the enforcement
agencies, including the Commission of Tidewater Fisheries, the Game
and Inland Fish Commission, and the Commission of Forests and
Parks to institute a program of active enforcement by specifically
designating that portion of their enforcement efforts necessary to
appreciably control the littering law violations; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this Resolution be sent to the Governor,
the Commission of Tidewater Fisheries, the Game and Inland Fish
Commission, and the Commission of Forests and Parks.

Approved May 6, 1963.
