CHAPTER 651

(Senate Bill 163)

AN ACT to repeal Section 469 of Article 27 of the Annotated Code
of Maryland (1960 Supplement), title "Crimes and Punishments",
sub-title "Refuse—throwing or dumping; dumps, junk yards, etc.",
and to add a new Section 122A to Article 25 of said Code (1957

location and maintenance of such places within the several counties,

to regulate and control the junk yards, automobile junk yards and
similar places at which trash, junk, refuse and old automobiles may
be collected; now, therefore,

Section 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Maryland,
That Section 469 of Article 27 of the Annotated Code of Maryland
(1960 Supplement), title "Crimes and Punishments", sub-title
