lations pertaining to trading by auction be undertaken to determine

enacted to provide an adequate and comprehensive regulation of trad-
ing by auction; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the General Assembly of Maryland, That the Legis-
lative Council of Maryland be and it hereby is requested to undertake

mendations as it deems wise to the General Assembly meeting in
