Former Art. 81, § 245, which provided for the payment by a
county of the expense of the assessment of property in the
county, is deleted as obsolete. By the terms of that section,
all of the applicable expenses were assumed by the State on or
before July 1, 1975. In any event, those expenses would be
chargeable to the Department under this title.

Former Art. 81, § 246 is deleted as obsolete. That section
authorized the Department to institute a mandamus proceeding
against any county that: (1) failed to provide enough money to
finance the assessment process in that county; (2) failed to
follow instructions of the Department regarding the method or
plan of assessments; or (3) failed to appoint assessors as
required. By the express terms of that section, none of those
provisions were operative after July 1, 1975.
