County Commissioners in their next annual levy are herewith authorized
to levy said tax or such part thereof as in their judgment is needed to
provide adequate fire protection in the area described in this Act on all
land and improvements and any other property assessed for County tax
purposes within said area, and the tax so levied and shall be collected as
County taxes 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 County taxes. The taxes so

levied for the ensuing year shall be collected by the tax collecting authori-
ties of said county and every sixty days they shall remit the whole amount
of the taxes so levied and collected to the Treasurer of the said Chevy
Chase Fire Department, Inc., or its successor or successors, upon the said
Treasurer giving a corporate bond to said County Commissioners of Mont-
gomery County to be approved by the Judge of the Circuit Court for said
county in a penal sum to be fixed by said Judge, conditioned upon the
faithful discharge of the duties of said Treasurer. From the money so
received the Treasurer of the said Chevy Chase Fire Department, Inc.,
its successor or successors, shall pay all proper costs, expenses, claims and
demands, including salaries to firemen of said Fire Department, and such
principal and interest on any encumbrances on the real estate owned by
said Fire Department as may be due, that are necessary to properly estab-
lish, maintain and operate said Fire Department. Should the tax so col-
lected in any one year be inadequate to defray the said costs, expenses,
claims and demands, such deficiency may be added to the amount required
for the next ensuing year and collected in the next year's taxes.
