Art. 3] MARYLAND MANUAL 709
credit of the State shall not in any manner be given, or
loaned to, or in aid of any individual association or cor-
poration; nor shall the General Assembly have the power
in any mode to involve the State in the construction of
works of internal improvement, nor in granting any aid
thereto which shall involve the faith or credit of the
State; nor make any appropriation therefor, except in
aid of the construction of works of internal improvement
in the counties of St. Mary's, Charles and Calvert, which
have had no direct advantage from such works as have
been heretofore aided by the State; and provided that
such aid, advances or appropriations shall not exceed in
the aggregate the sum of five hundred thousand dollars.
And they shall not use or appropriate the proceeds of
the internal improvement companies, or of the State tax,
now levied, or which may hereafter be levied, to pay off
the public debt or to any other purpose until the interest
and debt are fully paid or the sinking fund shall be
equal to the amount of the outstanding debt; but the Gen-
eral Assembly may authorize the Board of Public Works
to direct the State Treasurer to borrow in the name of
the State, in anticipation of the collection of taxes, such
sum or sums as may be necessary to meet temporary de-
ficiencies in the treasury, to preserve the best interest of the
State in the conduct of the various State institutions, de-
partments, bureaus, and agencies during each fiscal year.
Subject to the approval of the Board of Public Works and as
provided by law, the State Treasurer is authorized to make
and sell short-term notes for temporary emergencies, but
such notes must only be made to provide for appropriations
already made by the General Assembly. The General As-
sembly may contract debts to any amount that may be
necessary for the defense of the State, and provided further
that nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit
the raising of funds for the purpose of aiding or com-
pensating in such manner or way as the General Assembly
of the State shall deem proper, those citizens of the State
who have served, with honor, their Country and State in
time of War; provided, however, that such action of the
General Assembly shall be effective only when submitted
to and approved by a vote of the people of the State at the
General Election next following the enactment of such
legislation.
i SEC. 35. No extra compensation shall be granted or al-
lowed by the General Assembly to any public Officer, Agent,
1 Thus amended by Chapter 416, Acts of 1957, ratified November 4, 1958.
