BILL NO. 39

AN ACT to revise the descriptions and boundary lines of the First
and Thirteenth Election Districts of Baltimore County so as to
reflect a road closure and provide for the University of Maryland
Baltimore County Campus to be entirely within the First Election
District, by repealing subsections (a) and (m) of Section 9-2 of
the Baltimore County Code, 1968, title "Election Districts" and
enacting new subsections (a) and (m), under Section 9-2 of said
Code, in lieu thereof.

First Election District called to and along the centerline of Walker
Avenue which bisected a part of the University of Maryland Balti-
more County Campus; and

Whereas, the County Council of Baltimore County, Maryland
deems it advisable to embrace the whole of said Campus in the First
Election District, there being no residents involved.
