a tax thereon not exceeding fifty cents on the hundred dollars'
worth of assessable property.

106. Any person may appeal from the valuation of the
assessor made as hereinbefore provided to the Town Commis-
sioners of La Plata, who shall meet not less than ten days nor
more than thirty days after such assessment shall have been
completed and remain in session from day to day as long as
may be necessary to hear and determine such appeal; and they
shall give reasonable notice of all such meetings, and may in-
crease or abate such assessments as they may deem best.

107. If, however, the Town Commissioners of La Plata
levy a tax as herein provided they shall cause to be made out
an alphabetical list of the persons charged and taxed therein,
and shall cause to be affixed thereto, the respective sums to be
collected from such person, and a warrant to the bailiff signed
by the president and attested by the Clerk to collect the same.

108. The bailiff shall within ten days after the receipt of
said list and warrants render to each person named therein an
account or tax bill showing the amount due by him or her; and
if the bailiff cannot render to any person such accounts or tax
bills by reason of non-residence, absence or otherwise, he shall
publish such accounts or tax bills in one or more newspapers
published in Charles County, at the expense of the taxpayers,
and post the same in some conspicuous place in said town; and
unless such accounts or tax bills be paid within thirty days
after the delivery to the taxpayers or the publication and
posting thereof, as hereinbefore provided, the bailiff may en-
force the payment of same in the manner and with like effect
as the collector of State and County taxes now enforces the
payment of State and County taxes.

109. In event of the sale of any real estate under the pro-
visions of the preceding sections the president of the Town
Commissioners of La Plata shall execute and deliver a deed
of the same to the purchaser, and the deed shall convey
to the purchaser the property therein described, and shall be
presumptive evidence that all requirements of law have been
complied with in making such sale and deed.

110. The bailiff shall make all collections required of him
and shall pay the same, as well as all other money received by
him for the Town Commissioners, promptly to the Clerk, who
shall hold all such collections and money subject to the order
of said Town Commissioners.
