213. The county commissioners, at the time of the annual
tax levy, are authorized, directed and required to make a special
annual levy of ten cents on each one hundred dollars of the whole
assessable property of the first and thirteenth election districts of
Baltimore county, to be collected as other county taxes in said
county are collected, and when collected, to be used by the
county commissioners exclusively for the purchase of stone or
other suitable hard materials for the purpose of macadamizing
the county roads of said district; provided, fifty or more taxable
residents of said district shall, prior to each annual levy, petition
the said county commissioners asking that such special levy be
made.

214. Every taxpayer of said district shall have the privilege
of working out this special tax by hauling stones or other suita-
ble hard materials upon the county roads nearest his farm or
residence at such price per perch for the same as may be fixed
by the road commissioners for said district, subject to the
approval of the county commissioners; and said road commis-
sioners, immediately after the levy in each year, shall, subject to
the approval of the county commissioners, fix a uniform price for
said materials as far as practicable; and whenever they are satis-
fied that any taxpayer has fully worked out this special road tax,
they shall cause the chairman of the road commissioners for said
district to give such taxpayer a certificate to that effect, which
shall be received by the treasurer and collector of taxes for
Baltimore county as so much money in lieu of said tax.
