without substantive change from Art. 63, §51.

Subsection (c) (1) of this section has been
clarified to specify where the published
notice is to be made, conforming this
provision with similar requirements elsewhere
in this title.

In subsection (c) (2) of this section, a

purposes of clarity. This is in accord with
Art. 1, §20 of the Code which generally
permits the use of either registered or
certified mail as alternates to each other.
