[Auctions]
[8-1.
A. No person shall sell at auction any goods, wares or merchandise of any
kind or description whatever within the limits of Garrett County unless he shall first
pay to the Clerk of the Circuit Court for said county the sum of sixty dollars($60.) per
year for such privilege, to be applied to the use of the state and paid into the treasury,
and no such license shall be issued for a shorter period than one (1) month.
B. The provisions of Subsection A of this chapter shall apply only to such
persons as shall bring goods, wares and merchandise into said county to sell at auction
within its limits and to such persons as shall sell at auction goods, wares or
merchandise sent into the county for the express purpose of being sold at auction
therein.
C. Any person who shall so sell at auction within the limits of the county
without having previously paid for such license shall be liable to a penalty of one
hundred dollars ($100.) upon conviction thereof in any court of law.]
[8-2.
The Clerk of the Circuit Court shall be entitled to the same fees and
commissions for issuing the license and paying into the treasury the money therefor as
for other licenses under the laws of this state.]
[8-3.
A. Any person, firm or corporation which shall hold or conduct regular
weekly or monthly public auctions in Garrett County for the purpose of holding or
offering for sale any livestock, farm products or other items of personal property shall
furnish a bond with cash or corporate surety as provided by this section. Such bond
shall be in an amount which is not less than ninety percent (90%) of the average
weekly total sales by such person, firm or corporation at such auctions in the previous
year, the exact amount of which shall be approved in each instance by the Board of
County Commissioners after studying a financial report submitted to the County
Commissioners by the operating auction after the completion of each year of business.
Any person, firm or corporation which did not conduct regular auctions during the
previous year shall furnish a bond in the amount of two thousand dollars ($2,000.);
provided, however, that any person, firm or corporation which desires to conduct a
livestock auction and which did not conduct regular livestock auctions during the
previous year shall furnish a bond in the amount of fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000.).
The bond shall be made payable to the County Commissioners of Garrett County,
