An. Code, sec. 53. 1912, ch. 653.

articles for cost of repairs, work on and material put on or in such article.
And two years after the completion of repairs, work on or material put
on or in such article, and the indebtedness remains unpaid and owing, such
jewelers or silversmiths may after one month's notice in writing to the
owner of such article notifying such owner of the amount due, by mailing
such notice directed to the owner's last known address, or if the owner be
unknown, by written or printed notice set-up at the Court House door of the
county or City of Baltimore and the bill remains unpaid, sell such article

Garages.

An. Code, sec. 54. 1918, ch. 403, sec. 52. 1924, ch. 417, sec. 54.

54. Whenever a motor vehicle or any part thereof is left by the owner
or by any other person with his authority, express or implied, in the
custody of any corporation, firm or individual, association, or person for
repair, rebuilding, storage, or for the purpose of having furnished for or
on account of the same any parts, accessories, or tires, the corporation, firm,
individual, association or person in whose custody said motor vehicle or
part thereof is left for all or any of the purposes aforesaid, shall have a
lien on said motor vehicle or part thereof for all charges so incurred, and
may lawfully retain the same until said charges have been paid, or until
said lien is extinguished or discharged as hereinafter provided. Said lien
shall be superior to the rights of the holders of conditional sale contracts,
bills of sale, chattel mortgages or other liens or claims of any kind which
are not theretofore executed and recorded or filed for record as required by
law, but shall be subordinate thereto where the same have been theretofore
executed and recorded as required by law. Surrender or delivery of any
motor vehicle subject to the lien aforesaid shall operate as a waiver or
extinguishment of the same as against third persons without notice thereof,
but shall not operate as such waiver or extinguishment as against the owner
or as against third persons with notice.

As to motor vehicles, see art. 56, sec. 171, et seq.

1924, ch. 417, sec. 55.

55. Should the owner dispute the amount of the charge, or any part
thereof, for which the lien is claimed as aforesaid, such dispute may be
determined by appropriate legal proceedings, and the institution of any
such legal proceedings shall operate as a stay of execution under said lien
until the amount thereof shall have been judicially determined, or the owner
of such motor vehicle shall have the right to immediately repossess himself
of his said motor vehicle upon filing a good and sufficient corporate bond, in
