thereof, shall bear interest at the rate of 1 per cent, a month from and

59. For the purpose of retiring the bonds authorized by this Act and
the payment of the interest thereon, there shall be levied annually by the
Commissioners of Delmar against all property liable to taxation in the
town of Delmar, at the regular tax levying period, an amount sufficient
to meet and pay the interest on said bonds so issued and outstanding, and
to meet and pay the principal of said bonds as they shall become due from
time to time, after deducting all amounts in hand applicable to payment
of interest and principal on said bonds, as hereinbefore provided, which
tax shall be levied and collected as other municipal 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 other municipal taxes now are. Said amount so levied and col-
lected shall be kept in a separate fund, to be used for the payment of said
interest and principal, and for no other purpose whatsoever. The said
Commissioners of Delmar are authorized to pay interest on any bonds
it may issue, prior to the first tax levying period, out of the proceeds of
the sale of said bonds. In order that the prompt payment of interest and
the proper provision for the payment of principal of said bonds shall be
assured, the prompt and proper performance of the respective acts and
duties heretofore defined is specifically enjoined, and any failure upon
the part of any person, persons, body corporate or agent to perform the
necessary acts and duties heretofore set forth, to pay over the said funds
as required, or to use said funds or any part thereof for any other purpose
than for the payment of the principal and interest on said bonds, is hereby
declared a misdemeanor and punishable as other misdemeanors are pun-
ishable by Section 63 of this subtitle.

sioners of Delmar. Said charge shall be paid by all property owners at
the office of the Commissioners of Delmar before the actual connection
with any sewer or private property is made; or any owner so desiring may
