sufficient to pay the interest on and retire at maturity such bonds as may
be issued and sold by the Commission, the proceeds of which are expended
within that portion of the district within Prince George's County. All of
the provisions of this section with respect to the method whereby such
seven cent (7c.) tax shall be determined, levied, collected and paid over
and the money so received, expended and invested with respect to Mont-
gomery County shall apply to the determination, levy, collection and pay-

amount necessary to be levied in any year on the assessable property within
that portion of the district within Prince George's County to pay the
principal and interest on such bonds as may be issued does not require a
levy of seven cents on each $100.00 of assessable property then the County
Commissioners of Prince George's County are authorized and empowered
upon the affirmative vote of all of the members of the Commission from
Prince George's County, requesting such action, to levy a tax of not exceed-
ing seven cents on each $100.00 of assessable property, within that por-
tion of the district within Prince George's County, and to pay over to the
Commission for the purposes set forth in Section 592 of this subtitle the
difference 'between the amount collected from said tax not exceeding seven

-cents on each $100 of assessable property and the amount necessary to pay
the interest and principal on said bonds; and if no bonds are issued then
the whole amount collected from said tax not exceeding seven cents on
each $100.00 of assessable property shall be paid to the Commission and
used for the purposes hereinbefore set forth, provided that the moneys

collected from the tax on assessable property within that portion of the
district within Prince George's County shall be expended within that por-
tion of the district within Prince George's County; and provided further
that the Commission is hereby authorized and empowered, by resolution,
to expend the proceeds of not to exceed two-sevenths of the seven cent tax
levy authorized by this Act for the purpose of development, beautifica-
tion or maintenance of parks established by the Commission acquired by
them in any manner whatsoever, or the establishment of recreational or
playground facilities therein.
