"Sec. 28. In addition to the duties hereinbefore prescribed for the
Commissioner of Finance [and Revenue], he shall also be the Treasurer of
said City, and as such Treasurer shall give bond in such amount and in
such form as may be required by the said Mayor and City Council, in a sum
not less than Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000.00) with a surety com-
pany authorized to do business in the State of Maryland as surety (the
cost of same to be paid by the Mayor and City Council of Cumberland), to
be approved by the Mayor and City Council, said bond to be conditioned
for the faithful discharge of his duties. It shall be his duty to receive and
keep, as herein provided, all money belonging to the said City, and to pay
out the same only on drafts drawn by the Comptroller, signed by him, and
countersigned by the Commissioner of Finance [and Revenue] and the
Mayor, under the seal of the said Mayor and City Council, and not other-
wise. He may cause such signatures to be affixed to such drafts or checks
by hand or by the use of such automatic device as may be expedient, and
such signatures may, in his discretion, be applied as facsimile signatures,
by plates or stamps, which shall be the property of said City and shall
remain in the custody of the City Comptroller. The various depositories of
said City shall honor such drafts, checks or other orders containing the
signatures of said Comptroller, Finance Commissioner and Mayor, when
duly presented in the usual course of business. All moneys belonging to said
City and received by the Collector, either from taxes, water rents, licenses
or collections, or from any other sources whatsoever, shall be by him de-
posited with the said Treasurer daily, and all other officers shall pay once in
each month not later than the last day thereof, for all moneys received; the
Treasurer shall give duplicate receipts in all cases, one to the party paying
the said money into the Treasury, and one for the Comptroller; all per-
sons charged with the collection of any money under this article or ordi-
nance passed in pursuance thereof shall promptly pay the same over to the
Treasurer, under such penalty as may be prescribed by ordinance, and shall
forthwith hand the Treasurer's receipt to the Comptroller, who shall count-
ersign the original receipt. Said Treasurer shall render a full and complete
statement of his receipts and payments to the Mayor and City Council at
the first meeting in each month, and whensoever at other times he may be
required by any members of said City Council to do so. The Mayor and
City Council shall have the right to require of the Treasurer a new bond
whenever in their opinion the existing bond is insufficient; and whenever
such new bond is required, he shall perform no official act until said bond
shall be given and approved in the manner aforesaid. The said Treasurer
shall make daily deposits of such sums of money as shall be received by
him from all sources of revenue whatsoever, to his credit as Treasurer of
said City in one or more banks situated in said City, to be selected by said
Mayor and City Council. The Mayor and City Council in the selection of
such depository bank or banks, shall take into consideration the reputation
and solvency thereof, and said Treasurer shall do and perform such other
acts as said Mayor and City Council may require of him."
