shall have power to appoint an overseer of the poor in said

County are hereby authorized and directed each year to levy a

in the judgment of the Trustees of the Poor, for the care and
maintenance of the poor of said County. The Trustees of the
Poor in Prince George's County shall, on or before each levy
therein, present to the County Commissioners and publish in
one or more newspapers of the County, an itemized estimate or
budget of what will be required by them for the coming year.

missioners of Prince George's County are hereby authorized to
