1784 LAWS OF MARYLAND [CH. 825
hereby provided, the said Board of Municipal and Zoning Appeals
shall give notice to the owner of the said property, designating a
certain time when said owner may appear before said Court and be
heard in reference to the liability of said property for said tax, and
the class to which it properly belongs. All the provisions of existing
laws relating to notice to be given by the Board of Municipal and
Zoning Appeals before changing the classification of property under
the Act of 1908, Chapter 286, and to appeals from the actions of the
Board of Municipal and Zoning Appeals thereunder, shall be ap-
plicable to the notice to be given by the Board of Municipal and
Zoning Appeals and to the right of appeal from their actions under
this subtitle. After having given such owner reasonable notice and
opportunity to be heard, as herein provided, the Board of Municipal
and Zoning Appeals shall proceed to make the classification as herein
provided, and shall certify their actions, in making classifications
of property for the special tax provided by this subtitle, to the City
Treasurer in the same manner as in cases of classifications of real
and leasehold property in the Annex for the different rates of taxa-
tion as provided under the subtitle relating thereto; and the said
City Treasurer shall add said special tax to the tax bill of the property
as a separate item, to be called "Special Paving Tax," and shall collect
the same in the same manner as ordinary taxes on real estate are
collected. All the provisions of existing laws and ordinance, and any
amendment or amendments thereto, relating to the lien of discounts,
interest and penalty or other charges upon the ordinary taxes on
real estate, and the powers and duties of the City Collector in regard
to the collecting, keeping accounts of, accounting for, and depositing
such taxes, shall apply to the special tax herein provided for, except
where inconsistent with some provision of this subtitle. On the first
day of every month, or next legal day if the first day be Sunday or
a holiday, the City Collector shall account for and pay over to the
Comptroller, to be by him deposited with the City Register and to
be placed to the credit of the new paving fund provided for in the
Acts of 1906, Chapter 401, and 1908, Chapter 202, and to be ex-
clusively applicable to the cost of the work authorized by said Acts
or by any amendment or amendments thereof, all the proceeds of
the special tax herein levied which he shall have collected during the
preceding month.
Sec. 8. And be it further enacted, That Section 91 of Article 5
of the Code of Public Local Laws of Maryland (1930 Edition), title
"Calvert County," subtitle "County Treasurer," as said section was
last enacted by Chapter 338 of the Acts of 1933, be and it is hereby
repealed:
[91. All taxes levied for county purposes shall be due and payable
on and after the first day of July in the year in which they are levied.
All taxpayers who shall pay their taxes in cash on or before the
first day of October following the levy shall be entitled to a dis-
count thereon of two per cent., which shall be allowed by the
treasurer in his settlement with them and which shall be allowed
the treasurer in his settlement with the Commissioners. On taxes
which are not paid before the first day of October in said year interest
of one-half of one per cent, shall be charged if paid at any time
during said month of October, and interest of one-half of one per
cent, shall be charged for each additional month or fraction thereof
