Local Laws of Maryland (1930 Edition), title "Worcester County",
sub-title "Revenue and Taxes", be and they are hereby repealed and
re-enacted with amendments, to read as follows:

243.    At the next General State Election to be held in Maryland
in November, [1915] 1962, and every fourth year thereafter, a Coun-
ty Treasurer for Worcester County shall be elected by the duly quali-
fied voters of said County; and said County Treasurer so elected
shall hold office for the term of four years counting from the first
day of January following his said election, unless sooner removed,
or if appointed, as hereinafter prescribed then for the balance of
said term of four years counting from the first day of January fol-
lowing the time for the regular election of a County Treasurer, pro-
vided, however, that the incumbent of said office shall hold over until
his duly elected or appointed successor qualifies as County Treas-
urer aforesaid. [And no] No one shall be deemed qualified or eligible
for the office of County Treasurer who is not a resident and a regis-
tered voter of said County and who is not above twenty-five years
of age and a taxpayer in Worcester County.

244.    The Treasurer of Worcester County shall be the collector
of all State taxes and of all County taxes for whatsoever purposes
levied or to be levied for or within said County during the term of
his office, or that may be placed in his hands for collection, and he
shall have full power and it shall be his duty to receive and collect
all State and County taxes levied, [as aforesaid, after this Act shall
take effect] and so put in his hands for collection and all moneys
which may be due said County with full power to enforce the pay-
ments of the same [by sale or otherwise, as hereinafter prescribed,
and to convey title to any real or personal estate sold by him for the
payment of State or County taxes in the manner prescribed by the
succeeding sections and all taxes levied in said Worcester County
after the first day of January, 1915, for State and County purposes
shall be collected by the County Treasurer] according to the tax sale
laws in Article 81 of the Annotated Code.

256. Whenever it becomes necessary for said Treasurer to en-
force the payment of taxes by a sale of real property, he shall ad-
vertise such real property, or any part thereof, once a week for four
successive weeks in one newspaper published in Worcester County
and by notice set up at the Court House door in Snow Hill, and any
advertised notice of sale under this Act shall be deemed sufficient
if it contains the time, place and terms of such sale, the year or
years for which the taxes are due, to whom the property is assessed,
the district where located, the approximate quantity offered for sale
or such other description as shall be sufficient to identify said prop-
erty, and in no case shall a description by metes and bounds be re-
quired, unless it shall be necessary for the identification of such part
of real estate as may be sold under a division [, and no levy upon land
shall be required when the same is sold by the Treasurer by virtue
of the provisions of this Act and no notice or notices other than
those provided for in this Act shall be necessary or required to make
valid any sale herein authorized to be made].

Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That Sections 258, 259, 260,
266 and 267 of said Article and sub-title (1930 Edition), be and they
are hereby repealed.
