1566 LAWS OF MARYLAND. [CH. 934

State Central Committee for such county or city of any party,
and the treasurer appointed by the city committee of any
party in the City of Baltimore, before proceeding to act shall
give bond to the State of Maryland in such penalty as the
committee by whom he shall be appointed shall prescribe con-
ditioned for the faithful performance by him of the duties of
his office, without loss or detriment to any person interested
in the performance of such duties; upon which bond an action
may be maintained in the name of the State of Maryland for
the use of any person interested in the faithful performance
of his said duties, and injured by a breach of the condition
of said bond. The premium required to be paid for such bond
may be paid by him out of the funds that shall come into
his hands as such treasurer and shall be allowed to him as a
credit in the settlement of his accounts. All money or other
valuable things collected, received or disbursed by any political
committee, or by any member or members thereof, for any of
the purposes aforesaid, shall be paid over to and made to pass
through the hands of the treasurer of such committee and
shall be disbursed by him, and not otherwise; and it shall be
unlawful and a violation of this Article for any political com-
mittee or for any member or members of a political committee,
to disburse or expend money or any other valuable things, for
any of said purposes until the money or other valuable things
so disbursed or expended shall have passed through the hands
of the treasurer of such committee; and any person other
than a member of such political committee or other than the
political agent, as hereinbefore defined, who shall engage in
receiving or disbursing money for any of the purposes afore-
said, shall be deemed a treasurer of a political committee with-
in the meaning of this Article, and shall be subject to all the
requirements, obligations and penalties hereby provided for
and in the case of such treasurer; provided, however, that the
treasurer appointed under this sub-title by the State Central
Committee of any party, or the treasurer appointed in any
county or the City of Baltimore by the members of the State
Central Committee for such county or city of any party, or
the treasurer appointed by the city committee of Baltimore
City of any party, may appoint one sub-treasurer for each vot-
ing precinct in the said county or city, as the case may be,
which sub-treasurer is authorized to expend such money as
may be placed in his hands by the treasurer appointing him
for such purposes as are lawful under the provisions of this
sub-title and for no other purpose, and it shall be the duty of
every such sub-treasurer, within ten days after every election
or primary election, to make a report in writing under oath
to the treasurer appointing him, stating in detail the amount
of money placed in his hands by the said treasurer and for
