4132 ARTICLE 17.

the respective Treasurers be referred to said Commission, and it shall not
be within the power of said Treasurers to remit, change or amend said
charges. Any properties against which the Commission has levied a front
foot benefit charge not assessed for State or County taxes shall be added
to the Treasurer's books by said Commission, and said Treasurer shall

collect the same as herein directed.

The Treasurers respectively of Prince George's and Montgomery Coun-
ties or other tax collecting authorities shall cause to be printed upon their
tax bills the following:

"To Sanitary Commission front foot benefit charge $.............."

and provide a space for the interest or penalty, and shall make the proper
and necessary entries on all bills sent out, and shall collect the amounts
noted thereon with the State and County taxes.

Said front foot benefit charges from and after January 1st, 1927, shall
for all purposes of collection be treated as County taxes, shall bear the

same interest, the same penalties and advertise in the same manner as and
with county taxes, and all property subject to said front foot benefit charges
shall be sold for the same at the same time and in the same manner as said

properties are sold for County taxes, and all of the law relating to the col-
lection of County taxes so far as the same is applicable shall relate to the
collection of the front foot benefit charge. No property redeemed from a

county tax sale, and no property sold by the County Commissioners after a
final tax sale shall be redeemed or sold except upon the payment of the
front foot benefit charges due thereon.

The respective Treasurers shall pay to the said Commission monthly,
on the tenth day of every month, the amount of the front foot benefit
charge collected by either of them to and inclusive of the last day of the
preceding month, and upon the failure of either of said Treasurers to pay

over said sum as above directed, the amount in their hands due said Com-
mission shall bear a penalty of one per centum per month for which the
Treasurer withholding the same shall be personally liable.

Upon the expiration of the terms of the present Treasurers of the re-
spective counties, the County Commissioners of said Counties are hereby

directed to require the bonds of said Treasurers to be conditioned upon
the payment to said Commission of the amount collected for it, in addition
to the present requirements of said bonds.

The said Commission shall pay to the Treasurers of the respective
Counties such an amount as the Treasurers and said Commission may
agree upon as a reasonable charge for clerk hire for the added burdens
put upon their offices by the duties herein prescribed, and in the event of
a failure to agree the said Treasurer or Treasurers and said Commission
shall refer the matter to the County Commissioners of the County where
the disagreement arises and the said County Commissioners shall deter-
mine what, in their judgment, is a reasonable compensation annually for

said Treasurer. The amount agreed upon or determined shall be paid to
the respective Treasurers monthly by said Commission.
