to enforce the payment of any tax bill in the sum of fifty cents,
and, in addition thereto, for the property to be sold he shall
receive when sold, a poundage fee of three per cent, of the
gross amount of sale, but if the amount of bill be paid without
sale, after advertising, he shall receive as poundage fee, ten
per cent, of the amount collected, these several fees to be
charged against the tax bill of the delinquent taxpayer. The

collector for collecting taxes as they may deem right and
proper, and, in addition to the remedy above provided for the
enforcement of the taxes so levied, the collector may, in the
name of "The Commissioners of Leonardtown, " by suit and
execution, enforce the payment and collection of taxes in the
manner and to the same extent as debts due and owing in-

of law, and these provisions shall apply to all taxes now
levied and uncollected, and the same be collected, as herein
