which could be given by a special commission appointed for this task;
now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the General Assembly of Maryland, That the Governor
of Maryland is requested to appoint a special commission to study and
report on the alcoholic beverage laws applicable in Worcester County;
and be it further

Resolved, That on this commission, he is requested to appoint rep-
resentatives of public and quasi public agencies and organizations in
Worcester County, with a representative group of lay and professional
members, and to appoint a chairman of the commission; and be it
further                                                 

Resolved, That the commission when appointed, is requested to
meet and organize promptly and to give complete study and considera-
tion to all phases of the alcoholic beverage laws as they apply in
Worcester County; and be it further

Resolved, That the commission is requested to submit its report
and recommendations not later than January 1, 1967, to the members
of the Worcester County Delegation in the General Assembly, the
Board of County Commissioners, the Liquor Control Board, and the
governing officials of each of the municipal corporations in Worcester
County.

Approved May 6, 1966.
