Section 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Maryland,
That Section 166 of Article 10 of the Code of Public Local Laws
of Maryland (1930 Edition), title "Dorchester County", sub-title

Acts of 1939, be and it is hereby repealed and re-enacted with
amendments to read as follows:

166. The County Commissioners of said county shall have power
and authority to make levies of taxes for State and county purposes
including public schools, and it shall be their duty to make such levy
in each and every year; the taxable year to be from January first to
December thirty-first, or the calendar year; and all taxes levied are
due and payable as soon as the levy is made, said levy to be made on
or before the first day of [May] January, and the same shall become
due and in arrears on the first day of October following the date of
the levy, and shall be due and payable and bear interest from the first
day of October following such levy. And on all tax bills unpaid on
the first day of January in each year the treasurer and collector for
Dorchester County shall collect as a penalty, an additional one per
centum on all unpaid taxes, to be collected by him from the person
owing said taxes, at the time and in the same manner that such taxes

CHAPTER 24

(Senate Bill 37)

AN ACT to repeal Section 2 of Chapter 287 of the Acts of 1935,
which Section and Act related to an amendment to the local laws
of Dorchester County concerning the levy and collection of taxes
therein.

Whereas, Chapter 287 of the Acts of 1935 amended Section 166
of the local laws of Dorchester County concerning the levy and
collection of county taxes; and

Whereas, Section 2 of the Act of 1935 provided that nothing con-
tained therein should be construed to authorize, empower or permit
an increase in the number of employees for the purpose of carrying
out the provisions of this Act; and

Whereas, It may be questioned whether this provision is to be
effective permanently, particularly since the section of the local law
was later amended by Chapter 421 of the Acts of 1939, which did
not include any such provision as that contained in Section 2 of the
Act of 1935; and
