CHAPTER 149.
An act to reduce the salary of the Examiner General of the Eastern
Shore. |
| Preamble. |
WHEREAS, the business of the land office on the
eastern
shore of this state, has so much diminished, as to leave but
little duty to be performed by the examiner general; And
whereas, good policy requires that salaries liberal, but not profuse,
should be provided for the public officers, proportioned
to the duties required to be performed; Therefore, |
Account on
oath for fees;
salary $200. |
Sec. 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly
of Maryland,
That the examiner general of the eastern shore, from and after
the passage of this act, shall account once in each year, on
oath, with the treasurer of the eastern shore, for all fees of his
office by him received, or which may be due to him; and that
the said treasurer upon a liquidation of the said account, shall
pay to the said examiner, out of any unappropriated money
in the treasury, such sum as together with the said account
of fees shall make up a salary of two hundred dollars current
money. |
Former law
repealed. |
2. And be it enacted, That the act
of assembly entitled, a
supplement to the act respecting certificates of survey made on
the eastern shore passed at November session, seventeen hundred
and ninety seven, chapter fifty three, be, and the same is
hereby repealed. |
