SEC. 61. TAX PROCEDURE. The following procedure shall
govern the exercise of the taxing power granted to the Council

erty shall be used as the basis for taxation of property by the

shall be the same as the date of finality of taxes of Prince
George's County.

within the time specified for the making of the tax levy of
Prince George's County, and otherwise as specified by the
general law of the State of Maryland.
