shall be paid into the State Treasury and credited to the
State Industrial Accident Commission, and be used for
the payment, in whole or in part, of any award made
against said employer by the State Industrial Accident
Commission. All disbursements shall be made in the same
manner as other monies of the State Industrial Accident
Commission are disbursed. Any part of said fine not
required for the payment of an award as herein provided
shall be transferred to the General Treasury. The Court
may, in its discretion, remit any such penalty, provided
the employer in default assures the compensation as pro-
vided in this section; and provided, further, that he has
paid or secured to be paid any compensation or other bene-
fits under this Article which may have been awarded
against him.

(c) Any such employer who may wish to adopt any
one of the methods mentioned in the preceding paragraphs
for assuring the payment of compensation to his employees
and their dependents, shall first submit to the State Indus-
trial Accident Commission the method he wishes to adopt.
The said Commission may approve or reject the method
proposed. If rejected, the employer may submit another
method authorized under this Article. The said Commis-
sion may from time to time revise or alter its decision in
approving the election of an employer to adopt any one
of the methods of assuring payment of the compensation
as provided for in this Article, if such action is reasonably
necessary to secure and safeguard such payments to em-
ployees or for the diminishing and prevention of accidents.
Any action of the Commission for the purpose of diminish-

service corporations under the jurisdiction of the Public
Service Commission. Any decision of said Commission
under this section or Section 14 of this Article may be
reviewed by writ of certiorari in the Circuit Court for
the county in which the employer may reside or in any of
the Common Law Courts of Baltimore City, if the em-
ployer resides in Baltimore City.

(d) Any employer, subject to the provisions of this
Article, who fails or refuses to insure voluntarily the pay-
ment of the compensation specified in this Article to his
employees and their dependents through one of the methods
of assurance of payment, mentioned in the second para-
graph of this section of this Article, or fails to furnish
satisfactory proof to the Commission of his financial ability
to pay such compensation himself, or give bond or deposit
securities as aforesaid, shall at any time after November
