Papers filed in quick take condemnation proceedings designed to facilitate the condemnation of land for roads and the payments to land owners by the State Highway Administration and State Roads Commission. Documents include plats, estimates of property values and damages, petitions, court orders, and decisions of the Baltimore County Board of Property Review. The files are arranged numerically by case number. The cases for 1956-1981 were given the numbers LA 1-1567. Beginning in 1982 a new numbering sequence was instituted for each calendar year, for example, 82 LAD 1 or 91 LAD 1. Access available through (Land Acquisition Docket), a series that remains in the clerk's office. The docket entries provide case numbers and brief descriptions of the proceedings. Electronic access will be derived from the dockets, supplemented by the case files themselves.
