PHILLIPS LEE GOLDSBOROUGH, GOVERNOR.

State Board of Health to the County Commissioners of said

county, and there kept on file and of record, and any person
feeling himself aggrieved by such order may at any time within
ten days from the date of the filing of the same in the office of
the County Commissioners as aforesaid appeal from said order
to the Circuit Court for Baltimore County, and be entitled to
a jury trial upon the issue involved in such appeal; provided,
that if no suet appeal shall be taken within the period afore-
said, said order shall become final as to all persons affected
thereby and not appealing therefrom. Upon such appeal there
shall be three issues presented to the jury—first, whether or
not the public health requires that the appellant should be com-
pelled to connect his premises with such private sewerage sys-
tem; second, whether or not the requirement of the State Board
of Health as to the time within which such connections shall
be made is reasonable; and third, whether or not the require-
ments of the State Board of Health as to the manner in which
such connection shall be made is reasonable. If the finding of
the jury shall be in favor of the appellant on the first of said
issues, the same shall be final, but if the finding of the jury
shall be against the appellant on the first of said issues and in
his favor on either the second or third of said issues, or on
both, the papers in the cause shall be remanded to the County
Commissioners, who shall transmit a record of the same to the
State Board of Health, which shall forthwith pass a new order
after due notice to the appellant and an opportunity given him
to be heard, and transmit a copy of such order to the County
Commissioners as aforesaid, where it shall again be subject to
appeal upon the issue or issues not previously passed upon.
Any person not complying with such an order of the State
Board of Health which has become final as in this section pro-
vided, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and subject to
a fine of ten dollars per day for every day during which he
fails to comply with such order, said fines to be collected as
other fines and penalties for misdemeanors are collectible. Pro-
vided, however, that no owner or occupant of any property in
Baltimore county shall be required to connect his premises with
any private sewerage system under the provisions of this sec-
tion unless the rates and terms for such connections have been
approved by the Public Service Commission of Maryland, and
that said connection is permitted at the rates and upon the terms-
so approved. And provided further, that the County Commis-
sioners of said county shall have the right at any time here-
after to purchase the plant, property, easements, rights and
appliances of any individual, co-partnership or corporation now
