WATER AND SEWERS.*

1924, ch. 381, sec. 1.

266. The Mayor and Town Council of Kitzmillersville are hereby
authorized, empowered and directed to build and construct a water supply
system, and a sewerage system, for the town of Kitzmillersville, Garrett
County, State of Maryland, to be constructed in said town or in the sub-
urbs thereof, and to run and operate the same for municipal and com-
mercial purposes; to acquire by purchase or condemnation whatever prop-
erty or rights-of-way, within or outside of the corporate limits of the said
town of Kitzmillersville wherever work is necessary. The said Mayor
and Town Council may enter into any agreement with the owners of the
water supply for Shallmer, if in their discretion they deem it advisable
to use either the source or connect with the water supply system of the
Shallmar system; provided any such agreement be first submitted to the
Public Service Commission of the State of Maryland and to the Mary-
land State Department of Health, who shall determine the proper amount
to be paid for such connection as called for by such agreement and the
amount to be paid for use of water as called for by said agreement; and
provided further, before any agreement be signed by either the owners
of the Shallmar water supply or the Mayor and Town Council of Kitz-
millersville the written approval of said Public Service Commission shall
first be obtained; and provided further, that said Public Service Com-
mission shall have at all times jurisdiction over said agreement, which
jurisdiction will enable said Public Service Commission, after a hearing or
hearings, to change from time to time, as conditions warrant, the charges
to be paid, if any, by the Mayor and Town Council of Kitmillersville,
to the owners of the Shallmar water supply. It is herein expressly pro-
vided that no costs, which have already been borne by the owners of the
Shallmar water supply system may be considered as a basis for the estab-
lishment of any charge to the Mayor and Town Council of Kitzmillers-
ville, and that upon the written request of the Maryland State Depart-
ment of Health over the signature and seal of its Director for an enlarge-
ment of the dam, impounding reservoir and gravity supply main, said
Public Service Commission shall determine the amount to be paid to
owners of the Shallmar water supply by the said Mayor and Town Coun-
cil of Kitzmillersville, the annual charge necessary to be paid on the part
of the Mayor and Town Council of Kitzmillersville for such enlargement.

*Ch. 127, 1920, also authorized $60,000 of bonds for water works and sewerage
system, subject to approval of voters.
