436 LAWS OF MARYLAND. CH. 281

of any property within the county, as executor, administrator,
trustee, guardian or other fiduciary, or as agent, such person
shall be deemed and taken to be the owner of such property,
within the true intent and meaning of Section 302 of this sub-
title, and shall be bound to comply with all the provisions of
said section and of this Act so far as the same may affect such
property, in the same manner, and subject to the same conse-
quences in every respect prescribed by said section as if such
person were actually the owner of such property, and notice
to any such person by the County Health Officer, as herein-
before prescribed, shall be deemed and taken to be as good
and sufficient notice as if such person were actually the owner
of such property.

306A. No person except the employees of Baltimore County
engaged in public work or persons under contract with Balti-
more County for public work shall convey any garbage, house
offal or other refuse, animal or vegetable matter upon, over
or through any street, lane, road, alley or public highway in
Baltimore County or dispose of, store or dump any such gar-
bage, house offal, other refuse, animal or vegetable matter in
Baltimore County, without first obtaining a permit so to do
from the County Health Officer, and then only in accordance
with the terms and conditions of said permit and in no other
manner. Nothing herein contained, however, shall be con-
strued to prohibit any farmer whose lands lie on either side
of a public highway from hauling manure from one part of his
farm to another and using said public highway to do so, or
spreading manure on his farm for the purpose of enriching
the soil for the cultivation of the crops without the necessity
of obtaining a permit from the County Health Officer for such
purposes; provided, however, that should at any time in the
judgment of the County Health Officer such use constitute
a public nuisance, the County Health Officer shall have the
right to order cessation of the same, upon the same penalties
for refusal to comply with such order as herein provided for
by persons refusing to obtain a permit. The County Health
Officer may, in his discretion grant the permit herein referred
to whenever in his judgment the public health will not be
endangered thereby, upon such terms and conditions as shall
to him seem proper, and is authorized in his discretion to
revoke the same at any time that in his judgment the public
health may be jeopardized or endangered by the continuance
thereof.

Any person or persons hauling or dumping any garbage,
house offal or other refuse, animal or vegetable matter in vio-
lation of the provisions of this section, shall be deemed guilty
of a misdemeanor and upon conviction, subjected to a fine of
