SECTION 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of
Maryland, That Section 94 of Article 12 of the Code of
Public Local Laws of Maryland (1930 Edition), title
"Garrett County", sub-title "County Commissioners", be
and it is hereby repealed; and that Section 465 of said
Article, sub-title "Reports", as said section was amended
by Chapter 330 of the Acts of 1933, be and it is hereby
repealed and re-enacted with amendments to read as
follows:
465. The Board of County Commissioners of Garrett
County shall publish, during the month next succeeding
the close of its fiscal year, a detailed, minute and accurate
statement of all receipts and expenditures of said Board
for the preceding year; said report shall specify each par-
ticular item of expense and for what and to whom paid,
and as to receipts, from whom and for what received, but
when several amounts have been paid to or received from
the same party and for the same purpose, it shall be suffi-
cient to combine the same into one item and publish the
total amount so paid or received. Said report shall show
all amounts of cash on hand or on deposit at the beginning
and end of the fiscal year covered by said statement and
the total indebtedness, both funded and unfunded, and the
total amount of unpaid obligations or warrants, owing by
the County at the beginning and end of said fiscal period.
Said report shall be prepared by the Clerk to the County
Commissioners and shall be sworn to by said Clerk and
also the President of said Board. The aforesaid publica-
tion shall be made in the county newspaper which submits
the lowest bid for publishing the annual statements herein
required; if the bids so received from county newspapers
for such publication are in the same amount or too high
according to the judgment of the Board of County Com-
missioners then in lieu of such publication in a county
newspaper, the said Board shall publish or set forth in
pamphlet form the annual statements herein required, the
same to be given or sent to any citizen of the county upon
application therefor. In event said report is published in
one of the county newspapers, the board having same
published shall cause to be printed such number of copies
thereof, in pamphlet form, as said board shall determine
will be sufficient to meet the requirements of any tax-
payers who may desire the same, the bids submitted by
the publishers to include the cost of this printing.
The Clerk to the County Commissioners who shall fail
to perform the duty imposed by this Act, and to have the
reports published as required, shall forfeit the sum of one
