HARRY HUGHES, Governor

1141

In subsection (d)(1) of this section, the former,
archaic reference to "State reformatories" is deleted
as unnecessary in light of the broad reference to a
"State institution".

The second sentence of former Art. 32A, § 2, which
required the Attorney General, deputies, and
assistants to perform duties imposed by law, is
deleted as surplusage.

CITY; AND

(3)  THE SHERIFF OF BALTIMORE CITY.
(B) ANTITRUST MATTERS.

(1)  THE ATTORNEY GENERAL MAY ADVISE OR REPRESENT A

sentence related to Baltimore City.

without substantive change from former Art. 32A, §
