The County Commissioners of Allegany County are hereby authorized,
empowered and directed to levy annually against all assessable real
property within the LaVale Fire Area a tax sufficient, but not to
exceed $0.05 on each $100 of assessable real property, to pay the
annual expenditures necessary to maintain and operate the LaVale Volunteer
Rescue Squad, Inc., its successor or successors, including payment
of encumbrances on real estate or equipment owned by the LaVale Volunteer
Rescue Squad, Inc.
[1972, ch. 248, sec. 166G]
The taxes levied for the coming year shall be collected by the
tax collecting authorities for this County, and every 60 days they
shall remit the whole amount of the taxes collected to the Treasurer
of the LaVale Volunteer Rescue Squad, Inc., its successor or successors
upon the Treasurer's giving a corporate bond to this County, to be
approved by the County Commissioners and the County Attorney in a
penal sum to be fixed by the County Commissioners, conditioned upon
faithful discharge of the duties of the Treasurer. From the moneys
so received, the Treasurer of the LaVale Volunteer Rescue Squad, Inc.,
its successor or successors shall pay all proper costs, expenses,
claims and demands and such principal and interest payments on any
encumbrance on real estate or equipment owned by the LaVale Volunteer
Rescue Squad, Inc., its successor or successors as may be due that
are necessary to maintain and operate the LaVale Volunteer Rescue
Squad, Inc. Should the tax so collected in any one year be inadequate
to defray the costs, expenses, claims and demands, such deficiency
may be added to the amount required for the next year and be levied
and collected in the next year's taxes, provided that the rate shall
not be in excess of that mentioned above.
