authorized for the construction or improvement and equip-
ment of the specific school or schools for which such money
is appropriated, then and in such case the balance in the
hands of the Board of Education of Prince George's County for
such specific appropriations may, with the approval of the
Board of County Commissioners, be applied to the erection
of new buildings, the addition to or the alteration of existing
school buildings, the purchase of sites, and the equipment of
such new additions or alterations at other places in said
County, where in the discretion of the Board of Education
of Prince George's County, the same may be needed. The
Board of Education of Prince George's County is hereby given
full power and authority to do all things necessary to carry
out the purposes of this Act, even though the same may not
be specifically mentioned herein or in the general school laws
of the State.

SEC. 7. And be it further enacted, That in case the Board
of Education of Prince George's County shall determine after
the sale of said bonds, that it is inadvisable to construct one
or more of the school buildings or additions to schools named
in the original resolution, but may consider it advisable to
spend the amounts specifically set out for said school or
schools, or any portion thereof, elsewhere in the construc-
tion and equipment of school buildings or additions to school
buildings at other places in the County, including the pur-
chase of land if necessary, then and in that event, it may by
resolution request the Board of County Commissioners of
Prince George's County to substitute for the specific purposes
for which the said bonds were sold, or any of them, the con-
struction of such new schools, or such additions to schools
as said Board of Education may consider advisable and if
the Board of County Commissioners of Prince George's Coun-
ty concur in such changes, or any of them, they shall by a
resolution approve the same, and thereupon such new items
shall be substituted for the items named in the original reso-
lutions, which the said Boards desire to abandon, and the
Board of Education shall proceed with these new items in
the same manner and with the same powers and restrictions
as if the same had been mentioned in the original resolutions.

SEC. 8. And be it further enacted, That this Act shall take
effect on June 1, 1947.

Approved April 16, 1947.
