LAWS OF MARYLAND

Ch. 680

with the number on the license issued to the owner, as
provided in Section 136. The tags shall also have impressed
thereon the calendar year for which the tag is issued, and
shall not be more than two (2) inches in length, and shall
be equipped with a substantial metal fastening device. The
general shape of the tag shall be changed from year to year,
and the tags furnished the owners of kennels shall have the
word "Kennel" thereon. If any tag is lost it shall be
replaced by the County Treasurer, or dog warden or his
deputy, upon application by the person to whom the original
license was issued, upon the production of the license and
payment of a fee of fifty cents.]

(Note: This section is proposed for repeal inasmuch as
its provisions are covered substantially by Article 56,
Section 193. That section is being amended by this bill to
reflect the slight variance in the provisions relating to
Calvert County.)

[138.]

[The County Commissioners of Calvert County shall
appoint a dog warden and may appoint deputy wardens in their
discretion. The dog warden and any deputies appointed shall
serve at the discretion of the County Commissioners and
shall be paid such salary and allowances for travel as the
Commissioners may prescribe. Before entering upon the
duties of the office, the dog warden and any deputy dog
wardens appointed shall give bond to the State of Maryland
with good and sufficient surety, to be approved by the
Commissioners, in such penalty as the Commissioners shall
determine conditioned on the faithful performance of duties
and proper accounting for all monies and property received
by virtue of the position. The bond shall be in the form of
a "public employee's faithful performance blanket bond" for
the dog warden and all deputies, if possible. The premiums
shall be borne by Calvert County, and the bonds shall be
filed and recorded in the office of the Clerk of the Circuit
Court of the County.]

(Note: The provisions of this section seem to be
placed logically in Article 56, Section 194. This section
is proposed to be placed in that section as a new subsection
(p), therefore.)

[139.]

[It shall be the duty of the dog warden and any
deputies appointed to enforce the provisions of this
subtitle. The dog warden or his duly authorized deputies
shall have the power to issue summons to any person
violating any provision of this subtitle.]

(Note: This section is proposed for repeal inasmuch as
its provisions are covered substantially by Article 56,
Section 194(a). That section is being amended by this bill
to reflect the slight variance in the provisions relating to
Calvert County.)
