Case referenced in opinion for Bell:
Baltimore City enacted an ordinance like the State public accommodations law (Ordinance No. 1249) on June 8, 1962, shortly before the passage of the State law. That ordinance was declared invalid by the Superior Court of Baltimore City, on the ground that it was in conflict with the State Criminal Trespass statute..., a public general law, and, hence, beyond the power of the City to enact. Karson's Inn, Inc. v. Mayor & City Council of Baltimore, Daily Record, February 4, 1963. This Court, on August 6, 1964, dismissed the appeal as moot, because the General Assembly of Maryland by Ch. 453 of the Laws of 1963, without otherwise changing the statute, had repealed and re-enacted the Criminal Trespass Act to provide that nothing therein contained should preclude the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore from enacting a public accommodations act, and that the City had enacted such an ordinance, Ordinance 103, approved February 26, 1964. (236 Md. 356, n1 at 359.)
