424 ARTICLE 2.

for the printing and publishing of the same, and also for such printed
notices, blank forms and advertisements, as said County Commissioners,
or their clerk, may be required to use or give during the year succeeding
the date of the contract to be awarded thereunder; said advertisements
shall specify as far as it is practicable the character of material and work
for which proposals are so invited, and in such advertisements proposals
for the newspaper advertising shall be invited separately and distinct
from the other printed notices, blank forms, ballots and other such printed
matter. The proposals shall be opened and read aloud in public by the
County Commissioners at their meeting on the first Tuesday in February
of each year, and shall remain on file in their office, open to the inspection
of the public. The contract for supplying during the ensuing year the
printed notices (other than newspaper advertisements), the blank forms,
the ballots and other such printed matter, shall thereupon be awarded by
them to the lowest responsible bidder for the same, who shall be required
to do the work connected therewith and to deliver the same when and as
required by the County Commissioners or the officers aforesaid. The
contract for the newspaper advertising for which proposals were so in-
vited during the ensuing year shall be awarded to the lowest responsible
bidder for the same, unless for reasons, not of a political character, the
County Commissioners shall in open session by resolution determine that
the interests of the county demand otherwise, and the resolution so to
be adopted shall contain the reasons and shall be recorded among their
proceedings and be open to the inspection of the public. All bids for such
newspaper advertising shall contain an affidavit of the editor or publisher
of the newspaper making the same, setting forth a true statement of the
actual number of existing paying subscribers to such newspaper at the
time of such affidavit, and before awarding the contract the books of such
editor or publisher may be required by the County Commissioners to be
produced before them in verification thereof. If they deem it advisable
so to do, the County Commissioners may require the person or persons
to whom any of the contracts shall be awarded as mentioned in this or
in the preceding section to execute a reasonable bond to the State of Mary-
land, with sureties satisfactory to the County Commissioners, conditioned
upon the faithful performance of the contract so entered into.

1900, ch. 423. 1914 Code, sec. 176.

232. Authority is vested in the County Commissioners whenever, in
their discretion, the public interests require them so to do, to issue sum-

the opening, closing, altering or repairing public roads, building or re-
pairing hedges and as to any claims or demands presented against the
county or appropriation asked for; such summons to be issued by the
Clerk to the County Commissioners on their order and directed to the
Sheriff of the county, who is authorized and required to serve such process
in like manner as if the same issued from a court of law, and he shall be
allowed the usual fees for such service as are allowed by law; witnesses
