1690                                       LAWS OF MARYLAND                             [Ch. 6

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection presently appears
as Art. 66C, §90(3) of the Code. This
definition is revised so that it defines
Committee and not the State Soil Conservation
Committee. This eliminates the necessity for
repealing the phrase "State Soil Conservation
Committee". Sec. 8-201 is the only section
that uses the longer phrase because it is the
first section to refer to this body. The
last phrase is proposed for deletion because
§8-202, the counterpart of §91 does not
create this unit; it is included as a unit of
the Department in Title 2. The only other
changes made are in style.

(C) "COUNTY" MEANS EVERY COUNTY OF THE STATE,

INCLUDING BALTIMORE CITY UNLESS EXPRESSLY DESIGNATED.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language

added by amendment to expressly exclude

Baltimore City from the provisions of this
title in light of §1-101(b).

[[C)]]    (D) "DISTRICT" MEANS A SOIL CONSERVATION

DISTRICT, A POLITICAL SUBDIVISION OF THE STATE

ORGANIZED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THIS
SUBTITLE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection presently appears
as Art. 66C, §90(1) of the Code. New
language is added to indicate that "district"
means a soil conservation district. The
present language providing that this
definition is applicable to the phrase "soil
conservation district" is proposed for
deletion. Sec. 8—301 describes soil
conservation district in detail and, thus,
amplifies this definition.

The present reference to "governmental"
subdivision is proposed for deletion and
"political subdivision" is substituted. The
two phrases often are used synonymously, but
the latter has more accepted usage and is
more readily identifiable.

The present provision which defines a
district as "a public body corporate and
politic" is proposed for deletion. This is a
substantive provision and appears in §8—306.
