434 LAWS OF MARYLAND. [CH. 256

County Commissioners. The said County Commissioners in
their next annual levy may levy said tax on all land and im-
provements and any other property assessed for County tax
purposes within said area, which tax shall be levied and col-
lected as County taxes now are or may be hereafter by law
levied and collected and have the same priority, rights, bear
the same interest and penalties and in every respect be treated
the same as County taxes. Provided, however, that the Board
of County Commissioners shall not be bound in any single tax-
able year to levy the full amount permitted under this Act in
the said taxable year, if in their judgment the full amount is
not needed for the proper maintenance of the said Bethesda
Public Library. The taxes so levied* for the ensuing year shall
be collected by the tax collecting authorities for said County
and every sixty days they shall remit the whole amount of the
taxes so collected to the Treasurer of the said Bethesda Pub-
lic Library Association, Inc., or its successor or successors,
upon the Treasurer giving a corporate bond to said board of
County Commissioners to be approved by the Circuit Court
for said County in a penal sum to be fixed by said Court,
conditioned upon the faithful discharge of the duties of said
Treasurer. From the money so received the Treasurer of the
said Bethesda Public Library Association, Inc., its successor
or successors, shall pay all proper costs, expenses, claims
and demands, including salaries to a librarian and other em-
ployees, the purchase price of such real and personal prop-
erty as may be necessary to establish, maintain and operate
said Public Library and the principal and interest on en-
cumbrances on any real estate so acquired by said Bethesda
Public Library Association, Inc., as the same shall become
due and payable, that are necessary to properly establish,
maintain and operate said Public Library. Should the tax
so collected in any one year be inadequate to defray the said
costs, expenses, claims and demands such deficiency shall be
added to the amount required for the next ensuing year and
levied and collected in the next year's taxes.

SEC. 2. And be it further enacted, That this Act shall take
effect June 1, 1939.
