That Section 4 (b) of Article 2B of the Annotated Code of Mary-

4.

(b) Fees and duration.— (1) A fee of fifty dollars shall be col-
lected for a public storage or transportation permit, a nonresident
dealer permit, an import and export permit, a solicitor's permit, and
a bulk sale permit when the inventory in alcoholic beverages is
$1,000.00 or more valued at cost. A fee of twenty-five dollars shall
be collected for an individual storage permit, a bulk sale permit
when the inventory in alcoholic beverages is less than $1,000.00
valued at cost, and a nonbeverage permit except for an eleemosynary
[permitee] permittee in which case the permit shall be issued with-
out the payment of any fee. All such permits shall expire on May 31
next after the date of issue unless otherwise provided. (2) All non-
beverage permits shall be renewed on or before September 1, 1959,
and thereafter shall not expire until cancelled or revoked. (3) A
change of domicile permit shall be issued upon the payment of a fee
of two dollars, and when issued shall cover only a specific trans-
action. (4) An individual transportation permit shall be issued [for
each vehicle] upon the payment of a fee of two dollars. (5) A bulk
sale permit shall cover only a specific transaction, and shall expire
ten days from the date of issue, except that if such a time restric-
tion of this permit would be an undue burden, the Comptroller in
his discretion may grant a reasonable extension of time. (6) The
Comptroller shall prescribe a means of identification for each vehicle
authorized under an individual transportation permit or a trans-
portation or public storage and transportation permit which shall
be kept in or on the vehicle at all times when alcoholic beverages
are being transported. The fee for such identification shall be two
dollars for each vehicle. Provided, however, whenever the Comptrol-
ler finds as a fact that a jurisdiction outside of the State of Mary-
land exacts a tax, assessment, impost, or other charge or restriction,
in connection with the solicitation, sale and distribution of alcoholic
beverages consigned to such jurisdiction from a Maryland license
or permit holder, that is in excess of such tax, assessment, impost,
or other charge or restriction exacted of persons within such juris-
diction, in connection with the solicitation, sale and distribution of
alcoholic beverages consigned to such jurisdiction from a license or
permit holder other than a Maryland license or permit holder and
