County Commissioners. The said County Commissioners
shall levy, annually, at the time taxes are levied for general
County purposes, a tax upon all of the property assessed for
County tax purposes within that portion of Prince George's
County lying within the Maryland-Washington Metropolitan
District, as hereinafter defined, in an amount sufficient to
meet the principal and interest on said bonds so long as any
of them shall be outstanding; provided, however, that if the
interest matures on any one or more of said issues before
the annual levy, or before a sufficient amount of taxes
levied for the purpose of paying said interest is collected,
the said County Commissioners may pay said interest out
of the proceeds of the sale of said issue or issues. The Prince
George's portion of the Maryland-Washington Metropolitan
District is defined, for the purpose of levying the taxes re-
quired herein to be levied and for making the improvements
herein authorized, as all of that part of Prince George's
County, defined as the Maryland-Washington Metropolitan
District, in Chapter 1008 of the Acts of 1943 of the General
Assembly of Maryland, and said taxes shall not be levied in
any regional district or in any other part of said County
unless the same shall be added to said Maryland-Washington
Metropolitan District by this or under any subsequent Gen-
eral Assembly. The County Commissioners shall offer said
bonds, or any issue thereof, for sale to the highest bidder,
by sealed bids delivered at a place and time mentioned and
described in one or more advertisements inserted in at least
two newspapers of general circulation in the County. The

relating to said bonds and offering as they deem advisable,
