435. Every water and sewer connection, as provided for under Section
432, the Commission shall make such charge as it shall determine to be
reasonable, based upon the width of the street, road, alley, or right-of-way
in which the connection is made, provided, however, that the connection
charge on either side of the street, road, alley or right-of-way shall be uni-
form. All of the revenue, above actual cost, derived from such charges

436. All sums collected by the Commission, for benefits levied against
property for water supply, sewerage and drainage construction shall be
set aside as a separate fund to be known and designated the "Current
Interest and Sinking Fund", from which fund interest shall be paid on all
outstanding bonds, and the balance, if any, transferred to the "Joint
Sinking Fund Account", as provided in Section 429. The Commission,
in order to determine the amount which it may deem necessary to be
levied under Section 429, shall deduct the amount to its credit in said
"Current Interest and Sinking Fund", plus such amount as the Commis-
sion may estimate that it will be able to collect out of benefits theretofore
levied by it but not yet paid, from the whole amount necessary to be
raised in any one year for interest and sinking fund payments on out-
standing bonds; and the balance then remaining to be raised, shall be
the amount to be certified to the County Commissioners of Anne Arundel
County for collection by taxation as provided by Section 429.

property, and of a charge for water used, which shall be based upon the
amount of water passing through the meter during the period between
