the State Board of Health shall be supplied at all times with all
records and information upon demand. Agents of the State
Board of Health shall be allowed entry to all buildings, struc-
tures and premises owned by Counties, municipalities, districts,
corporations, companies and persons supplying the public with
water, ice, sewerage or refuse disposal service, or upon all pri-
vate properties, for the purpose of collecting samples, records
and information and ascertaining whether the rules, regula-
tions and orders of the State Board of Health are obeyed.
SEC. 17. And be it further enacted, That every permit is-
sued by the State Board of Health under this Act shall be
revocable or subject to modification and change by the State
Board of Health after due notice of which contemplated action
has been given by the Board to the recipient of such permit.
When the length of time that a permit is to run is specified in
such permit, said permit shall become automatically inoperative
at the expiration of the period of time prescribed, without no-
tice to that effect having been given by the State Board of
Health.
SEC. 18. And be it further enacted, That any County, muni-
cipality, legally constituted water, sewerage or sanitary district,
corporation, company, institution or person, dissatisfied with
any order or regulation of the State Board of Health under the
provisions of this Act, may commence, within 10 days after the
service of such order or regulation, any action in the Circuit
Court for any County or before any Judge of the Supreme
Bench of Baltimore City, in any Court of Baltimore City of
appropriate jurisdiction against the State Board of Health as
defendant, to vacate and set aside any such order or regulation
on the ground that such order or regulation is unlawful or
unreasonable, or that said order is not necessary for the protec-
tion of the public health or comfort, in which action a copy
of the complaint shall be served with the summons. The answer
of the State Board of Health shall be filed within 10 days, where-
upon said cause shall be at issue, and stand ready for trial upon
15 days' notice to either party. All such actions shall have
precedence over any civil cause of a different nature, except
appeals from an order of the Public Service Commission, and
the said Courts shall always be deemed open for trial thereof,
and the same shall be tried and determined as other civil actions.
Either party to said action, within 20 days after service of a
copy of the order or judgment of any Court of Baltimore City
