PREFACE.

The Code of 1904, legalized by the Act of 1904, chapter 72,
contains a full and correct codification of all the Public General
Laws of Maryland in force at the end of the Session of that
year.

The Supplement now published contains the Public General
Laws enacted at the Session of 1906, codified in appropriate
articles and sections in conformity with the arrangement in the
Code.

Eeference to the list of Acts in the alphabetical index will
readily show the articles and sections in which these acts of
1906 are codified.

Whenever it was possible to do so without creating confusion,
the numbers of the sections have been preserved as given in
the Acts, but changes have been made wherever necessary to
keep up the continuity and numerical order of the sections as
published in the Code.

Where no Code numbers or erroneous numbers are given in
the Acts, the sections have been numbered so as not to disturb
the existing enumeration in the several articles. Thus, where
appropriate location for a new section would require it to come
in between two existing sections of an article, as, for example,
between sections 215 and 216, it is designated 215 A. This
designation by the superaddition of A, B, e, etc., permits the
new legislation to be inserted in the proper place without
breaking the continuity of the numbers of the sections or dis-
locating the subjects.

Wherever an existing section in the Code of 1904 is repealed
and re-enacted with amendments, the origin of the repealed
