State of Maryland. If you leave that in there, what you
|
|
2
|
are saying in effect is, We are going to keep the same 23
|
|
3
|
counties and Baltimore City.
|

|
THE CHAIRMAN: Ad infinitum.
|
|
5
|
MR. MELVIN: Why is that necessarily so?
|
|
6
|
DR. LOEVYT: Because, as she points out, it is
|
|
7
|
virtually impossible .to carve 400 square miles out of an
|
|
8
|
existing county and not leave the old county less than 400
|
|
9
|
square miles.
|
|

|
MR. MELVIN: How about the number of inhabitants
|
|
11
|
Is there any virtue in restricting that?
|
|
12
|
DR. LOEVY: I don't feel we want to restrict
|
|
13
|
the Legislature in any way. I support Dean Fordhara. I
|
|
14
|
wrote this entire thing to appease the Comnission.
|
|

|
THE CHAIRMAN: I am glad to have gotten that
|
|
16
|
on the record .
|
|
17
|
DEAN FORDHAM: It is on the record.
|
|
18
|
THE CHAIRMAN: It is on the record all right.
|
|
19
|
I am glad to have gotten that one.
|
|
20
|
Actually if we are going to, Mr. Melvin, if you
|
|
21
|
are going to be so confident, I don't want to quite sound
