make a report and pay over at the end of each month all moneys
or funds received by them for licenses as herein provided, to
the Chief Game Warden of Harford County, whose appoint-
ment is hereinafter provided for in this Act, which moneys
shall be expended by said Chief Game Warden as hereinafter
provided for; and any Justice of the Peace failing to turn
over the money received for the issuance of licenses at the end
of each month, as provided in this section, shall be guilty of a
misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof shall be fined not
less than ten dollars nor more than twenty-five dollars, to-
gether with the costs of prosecution for each and every offense.

137. The County Commissioners of Harford County shall
on or before the first day of July, 1916 and every two years

amount, and all money over and above said amounts shall be
used in procuring, protecting, feeding and propagating game
in Harford County.

138. The said Chief Game Warden of Harford County
may be removed by the County Commissioners of Harford
County, after it shall have been affirmatively made to appear
upon written charges that said Chief Game Warden has neg-
lected or improperly discharged the duties of his office; pro-
vided, however, that the Chief Game Warden shall in no in-
stance be removed until he is given a hearing upon the written
charges made against him; and provided further that either
the Chief Game Warden or the party or parties preferring
the said written charges shall have the right of appeal from
the decision of the County Commissioners to the Circuit Court
for Harford County, where said charges shall be tried de novo
