CHAPTER 132.

An act to authorise the trustees of school district number
two, in election district member one, of Talbot county, to
levy a tax for the payment of rent due for school houses
in said district.

Passed Feb'y-
17, 1844.

Whereas the inhabitants of school district number two,
election district number one, of Talbot county, have for
some years past been renting school rooms, and the rent of
the same remains unpaid, by reason of doubts entertained
by many, as to the power of the citizens of said district under
the primary school law of said county, to levy taxes for the
payment of said rent, and it is deemed right and proper
the same should be paid. Therefore,
