120. The Board of County Commissioners of Montgomery County are
authorized, empowered and directed to levy and cause to be collected from
the property owners, at the time of the County Tax Levy for the year
1922, or any succeeding year, within said described area of Chevy Chase
as named or created in this Act, such amounts, not exceeding fifty (50)
cents on each one hundred (100) dollars of the assessed valuation of all
assessable property in the said described area of the Village of Chevy
Chase, Montgomery County, as may be requested by a majority vote of
the resident real estate owners of legal age in such area present at a
meeting called for such purpose by the Citizens' Committee hereinafter
provided for, notice of which meeting shall have been mailed to all such
residents at least two weeks in advance of the meeting. Such taxes shall
be collected as all county taxes are collected, and shall be paid over by the
Board of County Commissioners to the Treasurer of said Citizens' Com-
mittee of said Section 5 of Chevy Chase, to be selected from among their
number by a majority of the members of said Citizens' Committee, or by
their successors to be selected as herein provided. Upon said Treasurer
having been duly selected by such Committee and having given bond to
said Board of County Commissioners to be approved by the Judge of the

Circuit Court for Montgomery County, in a penal sum to be fixed by
said Judge, conditioned upon the faithful discharge of the duties of the

said Treasurer, the said Board of County Commissioners shall also order
and have paid over to said Treasurer the proportion of the County road

tax to be levied and collected in the same manner as though said part
of said Village of Chevy Chase were an incorporated town, and said part

of said Village of Chevy Chase shall for that purpose be considered by
said Board of County Commissioners as an incorporated town of said
County; and said proportion of the county road tax received by the Treas-
urer of Section 5, Chevy Chase, shall be used by said Chevy Chase Citi-
zens' Committee exclusively for maintaining and repairing the county
roads, streets and lanes that may have been dedicated to the public or to
Montgomery County, and whether accepted by said County or not; all
other funds to be used by the said Citizens' Committee directly, or through
said Committee, exclusively, for opening, maintaining, repairing and
lighting the streets, roads and alleys; for building, maintaining and re-
pairing sidewalks; for maintaining parking and drainage; for sanitation,
and for other village maintenance and improvements; for clerical and
other public services; for furnishing police and fire protection; for the
removal of snow, ashes, garbage and other refuse, and disposal thereof;
for the employment of a building inspector to enforce the requirements

of all deeds of conveyance for properties situated in said village; for

enforcing such building, sanitary and other regulations as said Citizens'
Committee, subject to the approval of the Board of County Commission-
ers, may prescribe for said Section, or for any part of said Section thereof.
