may be offered for sale at private sale at the best prices
obtainable therefor, provided, however, that under no
circumstances shall said bonds be sold at less than the par
value thereof. The authority to issue and sell bonds here-
in granted shall be exempt from all of the provisions of
Chapter 630 of the Acts of the General Assembly of Mary-

none of the provision of said Act shall have any bearing
or effect upon the issue of bonds herein authorized.

of the sale of said bonds shall be paid by the purchasers
thereof to the City Clerk of Crisfield, who shall first de-

accrued interest which shall be set aside for the account
of the first maturing interest coupons on said bonds. The
balance of said proceeds, including any premium received
for said bonds, shall be held by said Clerk for use by the
Mayor and Council of Crisfield exclusively for the purpose

municipality a tax or taxes in an amount or amounts suf-
ficient to pay the interest on said bonds as the same shall
become due and to provide for the redemption thereof at
maturity. Said taxes shall be levied and collected as other
taxes are levied and collected by the Mayor and Council of
Crisfield and shall be treated in all respects as to priority
of lien and other rights as are the regular taxes levied by
the Mayor and Council of Crisfield for its general munici-
