maximum limitation herein contained to provide the amount
of such deficit, and if the proceeds of the revenue notes, bonds
or certificates of any issue shall exceed the amount required
for such cost of construction, the surplus shall be paid into
the fund hereinafter provided for the payment of principal

exchangeable for definitive notes, bonds or certificates upon
the issuance of the latter. The Mayor and Council may also
provide for the replacement of any note, bond or certificate

debt limitation, none of the revenue notes, bonds or certi-
ficates issued under the provisions of Sections 116A to 116X,

of the Mayor and Council of Crisfield, nor shall any of such
revenue notes, bonds or certificates constitute a pledge of
the faith and credit of said municipality for any purpose be-

the proper administration thereof as herein provided, and
such revenue notes, bonds or certificates shall be payable ex-

statutory authority hereby granted by code reference or
chapter number, and they shall also contain a statement
on their face that the Mayor and Council of Crisfield is not
obligated to pay the same or the interest thereon except from
revenues and earnings of the municipal electric light and
power system for which they are issued, and that the faith
and credit of said municipality is not pledged to the pay-

certificates except to the extent of such revenues. The issue
of such revenue notes, bonds or certificates in accordance
with the authority hereby granted shall not directly or in-
directly or contingently obligate the Mayor and Council of
Crisfield to levy or to pledge any form of taxation whatever
therefor or to make any appropriation for their payment.
