216 LAWS OF MARYLAND [CH. 64

CHAPTER 64
(Senate Bill 126)

AN ACT to repeal and re-enact, with amendments, Section 186 of
Article 56 of the Annotated Code of Maryland (1957 Edition), title
"Licenses", sub-title "Public Passenger and Freight Motor Ve-
hicles", to change the registration fees for motor vehicles used for
the transportation of property or freight.

WHEREAS, annual fees for the registration of motor vehicles trans-
porting property or freight as set out in Section 186 of Article 56
of the Code are in conflict with the registration fees for motor ve-
hicles found in Section 81 of Article 66 1/2 of the Code, particularly
Sections 81 (f), (g) and (h), it is desirable to repeal the fees in
Article 56 so that the fees in Article 66 1/2 shall prevail; now,
therefore,

That Section 186 of Article 56 of the Annotated Code of Maryland
