See, e.g., County Coun., Montgomery Cty. v. Investors F. Corp. (1973) 270 Md. 403 [312 A.2d 225, 241-242]; City of Waukegan v. Pollution Control Board (1974) 57 Ill.2d 170 [311 N.E.2d 146, 147-153, 81 A.L.R.3d 1246]; State Insurance Commissioner v.

(1975) 274 Md. 211 [334 A.2d 514, 521]; see also Brown, Administrative Commissions and the Judicial Power, supra, 19 Minn.L.Rev. 261, 262-265, and authorities cited. Our court as well has previously noted the importance of administrative agencies in our modern government. In Bixby, supra, 4 Cal.3d 130, 142, we stated: “To deal with the manifold problems of modern society . . . administrators have been delegated substantial . . . quasi-adjudicative powers. [Citations.] Initially, the courts reacted to this executive expansion with the suspicion and fear that the burgeoning bureaucracy would endanger the prevailing concepts of individual rights. [Citations.] Yet troubled times forced the courts to recognize that the new administrative tools were essential to cope with new complexities. [Citations.]"
