inclusion of Harford County in the workings of the State-wide tax
sale law; and

Whereas, the purpose of this Act was to bring Harford County
within the State-wide Act and discontinue the application of most
of the local laws on this subject; and

Whereas, because of a printing error Chapter 260 of the Acts of
1966 purports both to repeal and to amend Section 512 of the Code
of Public Local Laws of Harford County; and

Whereas, since the intention obviously was to repeal Section 513
of this Code and to amend Section 512, it is desirable that the error
be corrected and that the original intent of this law be re-stated;
now therefore

Section 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Maryland,
That Section 513 of the Code of Public Local Laws of Harford County
(1965 Edition, being Article 13 of the Code of Public Local Laws of
Maryland), title "Harford County," subtitle "Taxes and County
Treasurer," be and it is hereby repealed.

Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That Section 512 of said
Article and subtitle as this section was amended in Chapter 260 of
the Acts of 1966, be and it is hereby repealed, and that a new
Section 512 be and it is hereby enacted in lieu thereof, to stand in
the place of the section so repealed, and to read as follows:

512. Immediately after the 15th day of May in each year the
treasurer shall, in person or by deputy, proceed to collect all taxes
due and in arrear on personal property by levying on and selling any
realty or personalty in Harford County belonging to the person
assessed, with the taxes so in arrears. If the real estate is levied on,
the treasurer shall sell the same at the Court House in Bel Air for
cash, giving at least three weeks' previous notice by advertisement
of the time and place of sale, said advertisement to state the name
of the taxpayer in default, the name of the person to whom the real
estate is assessed, and shall contain a locatable description of the
same; thereafter the treasurer shall proceed as required by the terms
of State laws concerning tax sales on real property. If personal
property is levied on, actual possession shall be taken thereof, and
it shall be sold at some convenient and public place within the county
after ten days' notice by hand bills set up in five public places in the
precinct in which the property is seized; the treasurer shall receive
in addition to the cost of advertisement the following fees under this
section: Levy, $4.00; setting up notices, $1.00; crying sales, $1.00;
reporting same, $1.00; and five percent commission on proceeds of
sale.

Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That the General Assembly
states that the original legislative intent in the enactment of Chapter
260 of the Acts of 1966 was to amend Section 512 of the Code of Pub-
lic Local Laws of Harford County (1965 Edition, being Article 13 of
the Code of Public Local Laws of Maryland), and that it was not the
legislative intent to repeal this Section 512. The General Assembly
states also it is the further legislative intent of this present Act to
correct the error in Chapter 260 of the Acts of 1966, to re-enact
