432 ARTICLE 2.

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 Anne Arundel County, and be entitled to a jury trial upon the
issue involved in such appeal; provided, that if no such appeal shall be
taken within the period aforesaid, 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 compelled to connect his
premises with such private sewerage system; 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 requirements 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 case 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 section provided, 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 collecti-
ble. Provided, however, that no owner or occupant of any property in
Anne Arundel County shall be required to connect his premises with any
private sewerage system under the provisions of this section unless, the
rates and terms for such connection 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.

249. No sewerage system shall be established by the county under the
provision of this Act except, in accordance with plans approved by said
State Board of Health or some properly qualified representative desig-
nated by it. The work required in the construction of all such systems
shall be let by contract to the lowest responsible bidder after proposal
duly advertised, and such work shall be done under the supervision and
subject to the approval of the Roads Engineer of Anne Arundel County.
No payment on account of such work shall be made without the approval
of said Roads Engineer.
