CHAPTER 11
(Senate Bill 70)

AN ACT to repeal Section 144 of Article 6 of the Code of Public
Local Laws of Maryland (1930 Edition), title "Caroline County",
sub-title "Denton"; and to repeal Section 219 of said Article, sub-
title "Federalsburg", repealing provisions in the municipal char-
ters of Denton and Federalsburg which purport to require the
County Commissioners of Caroline County to make certain pay-
ments to these two municipal corporations.

Whereas, in the Charters of the Towns of Denton and of Fed-
eralsburg in Caroline County, there are provisions requiring the
County Commissioners of Caroline County to make annual payments
to the two municipal corporations; and

Whereas, in a ruling of the State Law Department, it has been
held that the General Assembly may enact legislation on such a
subject despite the workings of the municipal home rule amend-
ment; and

Whereas, these provisions in the Charters of Denton and of Fed-
eralsburg should not be continued with the purported right of the
towns to deal with such legislation; now therefore,

Section 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Maryland,
That Section 144 of Article 6 of the Code of Public Local Laws of
Maryland (1930 Edition), title "Caroline County", sub-title "Den-
ton", and Section 219 of said Article, sub-title "Federalsburg", be
and they are hereby repealed.

Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That this Act shall take effect
June 1, 1965.

Approved February 18, 1965.
