88. The person so appointed, as provided in Section 1 of Chapter
183 of the Acts of 1890,+ or who shall be hereafter elected, as hereinbe-
fore provided, before he enters upon the duties of his said office, shall
take an oath before the Clerk of the Circuit Court for Calvert County in
form similar to that now taken by the Treasurer of Calvert County; he
shall execute to the State of Maryland such bond as is now or may here-
after be required by law as the collector of State taxes, which bond shall
be approved and filed in like manner as other bonds of collectors of State
taxes; and he shall execute to the State of Maryland a separate bond in
the penal sum of twenty-five thousand dollars, to be approved by the
County Commissioners of Calvert County, with the condition that if the
above bounden treasurer shall well and faithfully execute his office of
Treasurer of Calvert County, and shall account for and pay to the County
Commissioners aforesaid, or to their order, or as the law may direct, the
several sums which he shall receive for said county, or be answerable for
by law at such time and in such manner as the law shall direct, then the
obligation to be void, otherwise to be and remain in full force and virtue
in law; and said bond, when approved, shall be recorded in the office of the
Clerk of the Circuit Court for Calvert County at the expense of the treas-
urer. In case of the default of the person so appointed or elected, to
qualify and execute the bonds required within thirty days after the receipt
of commission, or in the event, of his removal from office, his death or
resignation during his term of office, the Governor shall at once appoint
his successor, who shall qualify and bond as aforesaid, and so continue to
appoint until a treasurer qualifies, as herein provided; provided, that
such new treasurer so taking the place made vacant by death, resignation
or removal, shall not collect nor take charge of any of the taxes that may
be in the hands of said late treasurer uncollected, and for which the bond
of the said late treasurer is responsible, but such taxes shall be collected
under existing laws applicable to collection of State and county taxes,
when there is death or resignation.
