(e) RELEASE OF SURETY. Any surety on any bond furnished
hereunder shall be released and discharged from any and all
liability to the State of Maryland accruing on such bond after
the expiration of sixty days from the date upon which such
surety shall have lodged with the Comptroller a written re-
quest to be released and discharged, provided, however, that
such request shall not operate to release, relieve or discharge
such surety from any liability already accrued or which shall
accrue before the expiration of the said sixty day period. The
Comptroller shall promptly on receipt of notice of such re-
quest, notify the manufacturer or wholesaler who furnished
such bond, and unless such manufacturer or wholesaler shall,
on or before the expiration of such sixty day period, file with
the Comptroller a new bond with a Surety Company duly au-
thorized to do business in this State, in the amount and form
hereinbefore provided, the Comptroller shall forthwith cancel
the license of such manufacturer or wholesaler. If such new
bond shall be furnished as above provided, the Comptroller
shall cancel and surrender the bond for which such new bond
shall be substituted.

(f) CANCELLATION. In the event that any manufacturer or
wholesaler shall surrender his license or cease to engage in the
business authorized by said license and it shall appear to the
Comptroller that all taxes due hereunder have been paid,
together with any and all penalties accruing thereon, the
Comptroller shall cancel and surrender the bond theretofore
filed by such manufacturer or wholesaler.
