HOUSE BILL 561

AN ACT to repeal and re-enact, with amendments, Section
14 (5) of Article 21 of the Annotated Code of Maryland
(1939 Edition), title "Conveyancing", sub-title "Convey-
ances in General", as said Section 14 (5) was amended by
Chapter 385 of the Acts of 1945, exempting Allegany Coun-
ty from certain requirements relating to the certificate of
tax collectors on deeds before they can be recorded.

Chapter 385 of the Acts of 1945 requires the transfer on
the assessment books of all real estate and the payment of
all property taxes due thereon as a condition precedent to the
recording of a deed. This bill seeks to exclude Allegany
County from the provisions of that Act. If it should become

At the request of the State Tax Commission the bill will
be vetoed.

barbering in Allegany County, and to repeal Sections 304
to 317, inclusive, of Article 43 of the Annotated Code of
Maryland (1939 Edition), title "Health", sub-title "State
Board of Barber Examiners", insofar as they relate to
Allegany County, to exempt Allegany County from the
State-wide barber law.

This bill imposes the requirement that a person engaging
in the barbering business have, among other things, an eighth
grade education or its equivalent, In Schneider v. Duer, 170
Md. 326, in dealing with Chapter 371 of the Acts of 1935, re-
lating to the trade of barbering, the Court of Appeals held
that the requirement that an applicant for a license be a
graduate of the eighth grade, and to have completed a two
year course in a barber shop or a barber school, was manifest-
