The Commissioner exercises, subject to review by the Courts, en-
tire jurisdiction over titling, registration and licensing of all motor
vehicles owned or operating continuously within the State. He has
jurisdiction and, subject to review by the Courts, sole authority in the
examination, qualifications and licensing of all persona operating motor
vehicles continuously within the State. Reciprocity with other States
gives to owners and drivers of cars coming into Maryland a period of
grace before they become subject to car registration, car licensing and
driver's permit regulations as provided in the Maryland statutes.

All licensing fees, both for titling and registering cars, and regis-
tering drivers, as well as all fines for violations of the traffic regula-
tions and motor vehicle statutes, are collected and accounted for by the
Commissioner. The judges of the Baltimore City Traffic Court and the
police magistrates in the towns and rural sections make return to the
Commissioner on all fines collected. No part of the costs of arrests or
prosecutions goes to the State officers operating under authority of the
Commissioner, where these officers make the arrests.

lines, both freight and passenger, on ton mile or passenger mile basis,
which had obtained for years in arriving at licensing charges, was

the cage of public lines, the gasoline tax becomes operative in Maryland
on January 1st, 1924. This tax is fixed at 2 cents per gallon. In ad-
vance of its becoming operative and superceding the horsepower and
tonnage system, during such period from June 1st, 1922, until a
deficit in the State highway maintenance fund has been made up, a
supplemental tax of one cent a gallon in addition to the old charges is
being collected in Maryland. Administration of the detail of collecting
