ALBERT C. RITCHIE, GOVERNOR. 641

transferred to the "Water Supply Sinking Fund Account,"
as provided under Section 4. The Commissioners of Leon-
ardtown in order to determine the amount necessary to be
levied under Section 4, shall deduct the amount of their
credit in said "Current Interest and Sinking Fund" from
the whole amount necessary to be raised in any one year for
interest and sinking fund on outstanding bonds, and the
balance remaining to be raised shall be the amount to be col-
lected by taxation as provided under Section 4.

SEC. 11. And be it further enacted, That for the purpose
of providing funds for maintaining, repairing and operating
their water supply system, including overhead expenses and
property depreciation allowance, said Commissioners of
Leonardtown shall be empowered and directed to make such
service rates as it may be necessary chargeable against all
properties having a connection with any water main under
their ownership. Said rates shall be uniform throughout the
town of Leonardtown, but subject to change from time to

minimum or ready to serve charge which shall be based upon
the size of the meter on the water connection leading to the
property, and of a charge for water used, which shall be based
upon the amount of water passing the meter during the period
between the last two readings, said meter, being required to be
placed on each water connection by, and at the sole expense
of, the Commissioners of Leonardtown. Bills for the amount
of the charges as above specified shall be sent quarterly or
semi-annually, as the Commissioners of Leonardtown may de-
termine, to each property served, and shall thereupon be pay-
able to the Commissioners of Leonardtown; and if any bill
shall remain unpaid after thirty days from date of sending,
the Commissioners of Leonardtown shall, after written notice,

question and it shall not be turned on again until said bills
shall have been paid. If any bill shall remain unpaid for
sixty days after being sent out by the Commissioners of Leon-
ardtown, it shall be collectible against the owner of the prop-

in the town of Leonardtown.

SEC. 12. And be it further enacted, That the Commission-
