Preamble.

A Further additional supplement to an act, entitled, An act, for the
relief of the poor in Calvert county.

WHEREAS doubts have arisen whether the vacancies are legally filled up which have happened

in the board of the trustees for the poor of Calvert county, and the general assembly deem-
ing it proper to remove all doubt on that subject; therefore,

Acts declared
valid, &c.

II. BE IT ENACTED, by the General Assembly of Maryland, That all and singular the ads and pro-
ceedings of those who have been, since the passage of the original act to which this is a supplement,
appointed trustees for the poor of Calvert county, which have been done in their official capacity as
trustees, shall be, and are hereby declared to be, as valid and effectual as if the said trustees had
been legally appointed trustees for the poor of Calvert county under the existing laws.

Persons de-
clared trustees,

&c.

III. AND BE IT ENACTED, That those who are now appointed, and now acting as the trustees
for the poor of Galvert county, shall be and are hereby declared to be trustees for the poor of Cal-
vert county until the next meeting of the levy court of said county, which said levy court shall
thereupon be authorised and empowered to appoint three discreet and sensible men, residing in the
county aforesaid, trustees for the poor of Calvert county, to act as such until the next meeting of
the levy court appointed by law for the purpose of laying the county charges for said county; and
the said levy court shall, at the said meeting so appointed for laying the county charges, and at the
meeting so appointed in every year thereafter, appoint three sensible and discreet men, trustees for
the poor of Calvert county, who, or a majority of them, shall have all the powers and authorities
given to trustees for the poor of Calvert county by the original act, and the several supplements
thereto; and in case of death, resignation, refusal to act, removal out of the county, or disqualifi-
cation, of any of the trustees so to be appointed, the said trustees, or the remainder of them, shall
be authorised and empowered to fill up such vacancies, and the trustee or trustees so by them to be
appointed, shall act as such until the next meeting of the levy court for the county aforesaid ap-
pointed by law for laying the county charges.

Court to allow
the trustees,
&c.

IV. AND BE IT ENACTED, That the levy court of Calvert county shall be authorised and em-
powered to allow each of the said trustees so as aforesaid to be appointed, a sum of money for
their services, not exceeding two dollars for each day he shall attend on the business of his
office as trustee, to be levied and collected at the same time, and the same manner, as other county
charges.

V. AND, whereas suits are now depending against a former collector of Calvert county, and his
securities, to recover a sum of money levied for the use of the trustees for the poor of Calvert
county, for the purpose of building the poor house for the said county, and it being doubtful whether
the said sum of money which may be recovered on the said suits may be sufficient to pay the balance

And levy mo-
ney, &c.

due for building the said poor-house, BE IT ENACTED, That upon the final determination of the said
suits, if it shall be found by the levy court of Calvert county that the sum of money recovered and
obtained from the said collector, and his securities, shall not be sufficient to pay and discharge the
balance due for the building the said poor-house, that then it shall and may be lawful for the levy
court of Calvert county to levy a sum of money upon the assessable property of the said county,
sufficient to pay the said balance due for the building the said poor-house, the said sum of money
to be levied, assessed and collected, in the same manner, and at the same time, as other county
charges.

Parts of acts
repealed.

VI. AND BE IT ENACTED, That every clause in the said original act, or the several supplements
thereto, repugnant to the provisions of this act, shall be and the same is hereby repealed.
