shall act as the agent of the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles
in the registration of motor vehicles of the Class A passenger
or pleasure type and all motor trucks which are privately
owned and not operated for hire and the issuance of metal
plates or markers, as provided in Section 27 of this Article,
in like manner as if application had been made at the office of

shall remit to the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles at the close
of each week all fees collected by him for the registration of
motor vehicles, together with a complete record of such regis-
tration made by him during each day, except the fifteen cent
fee paid to him by the applicant for his services in issuing the
certificate of registration and metal plates or markers. Each
applicant for registration of a motor vehicle shall, in addition
to the registration or license fees required by this Article, pay
a fee of fifteen cents for the services rendered by the County
Treasurer in connection with such registration, this fee to be
deducted each week before remitting to the said Commissioner
of Motor Vehicles. Each of the County Treasurers so directed
to issue tags shall first provide to the State of Maryland a bond
in such form and in such amount as prescribed by the Comp-
troller.

The Commissioner of Motor Vehicles shall furnish each
County Treasurer all the necessary forms or blanks, including
reports, as well as all metal plates or markers, and all station-
ery necessary to enable the said County Treasurer to perform

or not this section shall apply to the Board of County Com-
missioners of the respective counties by appropriate resolu-
