ALBERT C. RITCHIE, GOVERNOR. 809

186D. Said commissioners may, by their regulations afore-
said, prescribe the manner in which applications may be made
by residents of said county for the construction of sewerage
systems for their respective communities and the procedure
upon such applications.

186E. Said commissioners, with the approval or upon the
recommendation of the State Board of Health, may at any
time require any owner of property in Anne Arundel County
to connect his said premises with any public sewerage system
reasonably near the same, established under the provisions of
this Act, and may, by their regulations aforesaid, prescribe
penalties for failure to make such connections.

186F. Whenever it happens in said county that there is
any community without adequate facilities for the disposal of

or maintained by private enterprise a sewerage system
or disposal plant for public use, the State Board of Health
shall investigate such conditions, and if, after due notice to
all persons who may be directly affected by such order and

Health shall determine the sewerage conditions in said com-
munity are such as to be reasonably dangerous to public health
or to the health of the residents of such community, it shall be
the duty of said State Board of Health to pass an order so
declaring, and directing the owners or occupants of said com-
munity within such reasonable time and in such reasonable

manner as by said order may be prescribed to connect their re-
spective premises with said private sewerage system; a duly
certified copy of which said order shall be transmitted by said
State Board of Health to the County Commissioners of said

county, and there kept on file and of record, and any person

ten days from the date of the filing of the same in the office of
the County Commissioners as aforesaid appeal from said order
to the Circuit Court for Anne Arundel County, and be entitled
to a jury trial upon the issue involved in such appeal; provided,
that if no such appeal shall be taken within the period afore-
said, said order shall become final as to all persons affected
thereby and not appealing: therefrom. Upon such appeal there
shall be three issues presented to the jury—first, whether or
not the public health requires that the appellant should be com-
