(23) To the Board of Regents of the University of
Maryland, One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100, 000. 00),
which shall be from the issue of July 15, 1941, for new
construction at Princess Anne and, if any excess, such ex-
cess shall be spent by the Board of Regents, subject to the
approval of the Board of Public Works.

SEC. 7. And be it further enacted, That all plans
for construction and contracts for the above purposes
shall be subject to the approval of the Board of
Public Works, and where appropriations are made
to an institution or department for two or more pur-
poses, the order in which the same are to be begun shall
likewise be subject to the approval of the Board of Public
Works. In case any balance remains to the credit of any
of the above named institutions or departments after the
completion of any of the purposes specified, then such insti-
tutions or departments may expend such balance upon any
building, construction or equipment purpose which may be
approved by the Board of Public Works. The Board of
Public Works may allocate out of any premium received
from the sale of bonds of this loan sufficient money to com-
plete construction work, and for equipment at State insti-
tutions, where a deficiency might occur in the amounts for
such work and equipment in the event the State does not
receive from the Federal Public Works Administration the
full amount of grants for which requisitions have been
filed.

The General Assembly. of Maryland furthermore rec-
ommends to the Board of Public Works that the expendi-
tures authorized in this bill be delayed and postponed if
the labor conditions are such as to interfere with the
progress of the defense program or if the commodity
prices are such that such construction would result in
very high costs compared with normal conditions.

Commissioners of the several counties of the State and the
Mayor and City Council of Baltimore are hereby respec-
