property in Baltimore City adjoining or abutting upon any public
highway which has been or shall hereafter be paved with improved
paving, without special assessment of any part of the cost upon the
abutting or adjoining property owners, by the City of Baltimore or
the State Roads Commission or any other public commission or
agency, or by said city and any one or more of such commissions
or agencies, and using city, state or federal funds, in whole or in
part, for such paving, and any railroad or railway company occupy-
ing with tracks a portion of such highway, is hereby declared to be
specially benefited by such improved paving to an extent greater
than the entire amount of the special tax hereby levied thereon.
Said property so benefited is hereby divided into three classes, to be
designated as Classes A, B and C.

Class A shall include all such landed property in the City of Balti-
more adjoining or abutting upon a public highway paved with im-
proved paving and having a width of not less than thirty feet so
paved.

Class B shall include all such landed property in the City of Balti-
more adjoining or abutting upon any public highway paved with
improved paving and having a width of less than thirty feet and not
less than fifteen feet so paved.

Class C shall include all such landed property in the City of Balti-
more adjoining or abutting upon any public highway paved with
improved paving and having a width of less than fifteen feet so

The Board of Municipal and Zoning Appeals of Baltimore is hereby
authorized and directed to proceed forthwith to classify and list for
taxes as provided by this subtitle for the year 1913 all landed prop-
erty in the city of Baltimore which on the first day of November, 1912,
was in the situation to come under the requirements of either of said
classes; and thereafter on the first day of May of every year, and as
soon thereafter as may conveniently be done, they shall add to said
lists all landed property which during the preceding year shall have
come under either of said classes. The said [Court] Board may
classify property under this subtitle as soon as it meets the require-
ments thereof, but the special paving tax thereon shall not attach
until the year following such classification.

Before classifying and listing any property under the special tax
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
