664 LAWS OF MARYLAND [Ch. 4
concerning the dam and its construction is
proposed for deletion as obsolete since it
does not exist.
The first provision of present subsection
(c) relating to nonresidents of the county
and subsection (d) in its entirety are
proposed for deletion in light of Bruce v.
director, discussed in the revisor's note
to section 4-703, supra. The second
provision has been retained as subsection
(d) since its subject matter still is
operative. The reference to "crocus" is
proposed for deletion and "croakers" is
substituted therefor because there is no
fish known as a "crocus".
The only other changes made are in style.
