GENERAL REVISOR'S NOTE:

The Commission to Revise the Annotated Code, in
compiling Title 1 of the Real Property Article, concluded
that certain provisions of present law originally
allocated to Title 1 are repetitious, obsolete, or more
properly allocable elsewhere. Accordingly, these
provisions are embodied in Title 1. Their proposed
treatment is as follows:

Section in Art.   21: Treatment:              Comment:

§1-101(h)                                  repeal                        superceded

§1-102                                        repeal                        severability

TITLE 2. RULES   OF CONSTRUCTION.
