the charter of the town of Brunswick, in Frederick county, as
said charter was enacted by Chapter 577 of the Acts of the Gen-

1890, and amended by Chapter 520 of the Acts of the General
Assembly of 1894 and by Chapter 380 of the Acts of the General

enacted with amendments, so as to read as follows:

20. Any person may appeal from the valuation made by the
assessor or assessors to the Council at their next regular meet-
ing, and such Council shall remain in session as long as may
be necessary to hear and determine such appeals, and shall give
reasonable notice of such meeting, and may abate or increase
the assessment as may seem just.

2.1. Whenever the Council shall levy a tax they shall cause
to be made out an alphabetical list of all the persons to be
charged therewith, and shall cause to be affixed thereto the re-
spective sums to be collected from each person, and a warrant
to the bailiff or such other person as the Council shall desig-
nate, to collect the same.

22. The bailiff, or such other person appointed under the

preceding section by the Council, shall enforce the payment
of corporation taxes in the same manner and with like effect as
collectors of State and county taxes may enforce the payment
of State and county taxes, instead of proceeding by way of
distress for taxes in arrears. The bailiff or such other person
appointed by the Council to collect corporation taxes may, if
he deem it advisable, institute suits in the name of the Mayor
and Council of Brunswick against any delinquent before a
Justice of the Peace, or in the Circuit Court of Frederick
