relating to the recordation of typewritten and illegible

ment to said section made by Chapter 542 of the Acts
of 1949 and inadvertently omitted from the 1951 code.
WHEREAS, By Chapter 542 of the Acts of 1949, there
was an amendment to what is now Section 64 of Article 17
of the 1951 Code; and
WHEREAS, The provisions of this Act of 1949 were in-
advertently omitted from the 1951 Code; and
WHEREAS, It is desirable to re-enact these provisions
without change in order to remove any doubts as to their
effectiveness; now, therefore,
SECTION 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of
Maryland, That Section 64 of Article 17 of the Annotated
Code of Maryland (1951 Edition), title "Clerks of Courts",
sub-title "Clerks of Circuit Courts", be and it is hereby
repealed and that a new Section 64 be and it is hereby
enacted in lieu thereof, said new section to stand in the
place and stead of the section so repealed, and to read as
follows:
64. Any person, firm or corporaton CORPORATION
offering for recordation in the Clerk's office of the Superior
Court of Baltimore City, or in the Clerk's offices of the Cir-
cuit Courts for the several counties, any deed, mortgage,
lease, agreement, conditional sales contract, chattel mort-
gage, or any other recordable instrument upon a printed
form, or any typewritten instrument, not upon a printed
form, shall cause said printed forms or typewritten instru-
ment to be printed or typed in good, clear, readable type,
of not less than eight point, and upon paper of sufficient
weight and thickness as to be clearly readable. The re-
cording charges for any such instrument not conforming
to the requirements of this section but offered for recorda-
tion shall be three times the charge now allowed by law
for the recording of the same. In those clerks9 offices
where such instruments are photostated no instrument
upon which a rider or riders have been placed or attached
in such a manner as to obscure, hide or cover any other
part of the instrument shall be offered or received for
record and no instrument not otherwise readily subject to
photostating shall be offered or received for record until a
charge equal to three times the fee now allowed by law for
the recording of the same shall have been paid to such clerk.
