CHAPTER 81.

AN ACT to make valid the levy of State Tax-
made by the County Commissioners of Allegany
County for the year eighteen hundred and sixty-
seven .

Preamble.

WHEREAS, the County Commissioners of Alle-
gany County, under a mistaken view of their duty
and powers, levied a tax of twelve cents on the
one hundred dollars for the use of the State, for
the year eighteen hundred and sixty-seven, upon
the basis of the assessment of the year eighteen
hundred and sixty-six, instead of a tax of twenty
cents on the one hundred dollars on the assessment
of the year eighteen hundred and fifty-two. And
whereas, the amount so levied for the use of the
State being as great as would have been realized
from the latter rate on the said assessment of
eighteen hundred and fifty-two ; in order, there-
fore, to avoid all difficulties arising from the man-
ner in which said levy was made, therefore,
