187. For the purpose of paying the interest on said bonds, and for
redeeming said bonds as they mature, the Commissioners of Ellicott City
shall, at the time of making the first levy after said bonds are issued,
and annually thereafter, until all of said bonds issued under the authority
of this Act shall mature and be redeemed, levy a special tax upon the
assessable property of said City, sufficient to pay the annual interest on
said bonds outstanding, and to redeem said bonds as they mature, said
taxes to be levied and collected as other taxes in said City now are, or
may be hereafter, by law, levied and collected, and have the same priority
rights, bear the same interest and penalties, and in every respect be
treated the same as other taxes in Ellicott City. Provided, however, that
the Commissioners of Ellicott City may, in their discretion, apply any
balance remaining in the "Water Supply Fund" provided for in Section
186 of this Article, to the payment of said interest, and the redemption
of said bonds. The tax authorized by this Section shall be in addition
to the other taxes which the Commissioners of Ellicott City are authorized
by law to levy, and shall not be used for any purpose other than the pay-
ment of the interest on said bonds, and the redemption of said bonds as
they mature.

1924, ch. 404, sec. 10.

188. The Commissioners of Ellicott City may enter upon any County
or Municipal street, road or alley, or any public highway other than State
highway, for the purpose of installing, altering, extending, maintaining
and operating the water supply system provided for under this Act, and
they may construct in such street, road or alley, or public highway, a
water main or any appurtenance thereof, without the receipt of a permit
or the payment of a charge; provided that whenever any County or Mu-
nicipal highway is to be disturbed, the public authority having control
thereof shall be duly notified, and provided, further, that said highway
shall be repaired and left by the Commissioners of Ellicott City in the
same, or a not inferior condition to that existing before being torn up,
and that all costs incident thereto shall be borne by the Commissioners of
Ellicott City. When said Commissioners desire to enter upon any State
Highway for the purposes aforesaid they must first comply with the pro-
visions of Section 32 of Article 91 of the Code of Public General Laws
of Maryland.
