Commission.

1007. Whenever said Commission shall deem such action advisable it
shall institute, maintain and operate such system of refuse collection and
disposal in any part or parts of the Sanitary District as in its judgment
shall best promote public health, economy and convenience, and shall
prescribe the territory so to be served. The Commission shall have full
power to prescribe and enforce rules and regulations governing the treat-
ment and storage of all varieties of refuse on private property before
collection. Whenever a system of refuse collection and disposal shall be
establishing in any area, existing systems or methods of refuse disposal
within said area shall be abandoned, and all properties shall make use
of the system provided by the Commission. Any violation of the above
provisions shall be a misdemeanor punishable under Section 1011 of this
subtitle. The area served by any refuse collection and disposal system
established by the Commission may be extended from time to time by
said Commission as in its judgment may be advisable, and the provisions
of this Section shall likewise be applicable to all added territory. For
the purpose of providing funds for the establishment or extension of any
system of refuse collection and disposal, the Commission may issue bonds
which shall be of the same type, subject to the same conditions and carry-
ing the same guaranty of payment of interest and principal as those issued
for water supply, sewerage and drainage construction, as provided under
Sections 994 and 995 of this subtitle; except that all bonds to be issued
under this Section shall mature fifteen years after the date of issue, and
that levy shall be made by the County Commissioners of Montgomery and
Prince George's Counties as may be necessary to pay the interest on and
redeem them at the end of such period. The Commission shall be em-
powered and directed to fix and collect a reasonable charge upon the own-
ers of all improved properties within the area served by its refuse col-
lection and disposal system, said charge to be payable at the same time
and subject to the same conditions as the charges for water service, as
specified under Section 1003. All sums so received by the Commission
shall be applied to the maintenance and operation of said system and
to overhead expenses of the Commission, but all sums received by the
Commission from the sale of materials or products resulting from its
system of refuse disposal shall be applied by the Commission to the pay-
ment of the interest on and redemption of the bonds issued under this
Section, in the same manner as benefit and connection charges are applied
to payment on water and sewerage bonds, as specified under Section 1002;
provided, that if, at any time, said sums so received by the Commission
for the sale of materials or products shall be in excess of the total amount
necessary to pay all of the interest and sinking fund charges for that year
upon the bonds issued under this Section, the Commission shall retain such

excess amount and may apply it, in its discretion, to a reduction of the
