tions 72-90W, inclusive, of Article 81 of the Annotated Code
of Maryland (1947 Supplement), and as amended by the Gen-
eral Assembly.

In addition thereto and notwithstanding the provisions to
the contrary in Sections 72-90W, inclusive, of Article 81
aforesaid, in the year 1949, the Town Clerk and Treasurer
of Cheverly may certify to the Collector of Taxes for Prince
George's County, Maryland, for inclusion in the next sale to
be held by the said collector, all taxes and/or special assess-
ments which are in arrears at the time this Charter takes
effect and that have not heretofore been certified to said
Collector.

Until a final decree is passed under the provisions of Sec-
tions 72-90W, inclusive, of Article 81, aforesaid, foreclosing
all rights of redemption in any property certified by the Town
Clerk and Treasurer of Cheverly to the Collector of Prince
George's County, Maryland, and sold by the Collector, and
until a deed to said property is executed and delivered to the
holder of the certificate of sale, such property shall continue
to be assessed by the Mayor and Town Council of Cheverly as
though no sale had been made, whether the County Commis-
sioners or some other person holds the certificate of sale. All
taxes accruing subsequent to the date the Town Clerk and
Treasurer of Cheverly certified to the Collector of taxes for
Prince George's County, Maryland, all taxes then due it,
together with interest and penalties thereon, shall be addi-
tional liens against the property. The Town Clerk and Treas-
urer of Cheverly shall upon receipt of a notice from the
Collector of Prince George's County, Maryland, that he in-
tends to hold a tax sale of property upon which taxes are in
arrears in addition to certifying all taxes then due it on
property not heretofore certified to said Collector, shall in a
separate statement report all subsequent accrued taxes as-
sessed on property heretofore certified to the Collector for
which payment has not been received. The said statement
shall contain a reference to the date the property was initially
certified to the Collector of Prince George's County, Maryland,
the date the subsequent taxes became in arrears, the name of
the person who last appears as the owner of said property on
the tax rolls of the Town of Cheverly. The amounts so
certified to the Collector for Prince George's County, Mary-
land, shall be collected before a deed is delivered by the
Collector, as hereinbefore provided.

216. If, within thirty days from the date of passage of any
town ordinance, a petition protesting against said ordinance,
signed by not less than one-half as many qualified voters as
voted at the last general election, shall be filed with the Mayor
