492 LAWS OF MARYLAND Ch. 13
by these sections has been made and, of course, remains
valid under §8-204(d) of this title. These sections,
therefore, are now obsolete. (It should be noted that
former Art. 89B, §§ 86 through 89, which contained
similar provisions as to bridges between Maryland and
West Virginia, likewise have been repealed; see, Ch. 2,
Acts of 1960.)
(22) Art. 89B, §90. This section authorizes
the Federal government to build a bridge across the
Potomac River near Great Falls. The bridge has been
built and, therefore, the authorization is no longer
necessary.
(23) Art. 89B, §§ 9 1 through 99. These
sections authorize the McClintic—Marshall Corporation to
construct and operate a bridge across Bear Creek in
Baltimore County and authorize Baltimore County to
purchase and operate the bridge and to collect tolls.
Since the bridge has been constructed and is now owned
and operated by Baltimore County, these sections are now
essentially obsolete and have been deleted. However,
since Baltimore County continues to collect tolls for
this bridge, a new section §50A (derived from present
Art. 89B, §95) is added to Art. 25 to continue the
authorization for and limitations on the collection of
these tolls.
(24) Art. 89B, §§ 99A through 99F. These
sections authorize the Administration and Worcester
County to construct and maintain a bridge across
Sinepuxent Bay and to make agreements setting forth the
rights and duties of the Administration and the county.
Since the bridge has been constructed and the agreements
made, the authorization is no longer necessary.
(25) Art. 89B, §101. This section requires
the Administration to keep "{t}he bridge currently {1950}
existing and in use across the Severn River" open to
public use and prohibits transfer of the bridge to the
Federal government. The section apparently was intended
to assure access to Annapolis; this access now is
provided by the New Severn River Bridge and the section,
therefore, is obsolete. If the Federal government wanted
to acquire the Bridge, it could probably condemn it,
notwithstanding present §101; furthermore, even if the
Administration, in the absence of this section, decided
to transfer the Bridge voluntarily to the Federal
government, approval of the Board of Public Works still
would be required.
(26) Art. 89B, §103. The first and last
parts of this section, which relate to restrictions on
the placing or signs along highways and contain special
exceptions for Kent and Queen Anne's Counties, are
essentially identical to NR §5-407 and, therefore, are
redundant and unnecessary. The middle part of this
section, which relates to unauthorized traffic signs, is
