repealed and re-enacted, with amendments, to read as follows:

372A. For the purpose of paying said certificates of in-
debtedness when and as they mature, and for the purpose of
paying the interest thereon when and as the same becomes
due, a tax of one per cent, of the assessed value of all property
benefited by the Towson Sewer System within the Towson
Sewerage Area as it now exists, or as it is from time to time
hereafter enlarged, or so much of one per cent, as may be
deemed necessary or desirable by the County Commissioners
of Baltimore County, shall be levied by said County Commis-
sioners each year on the property so benefited until said cer-
tificates and the interest thereon are paid; said taxes so to

erty benefited by the Towson Sewer System is insufficient to
pay said certificates as they mature or the interest thereon
as the same becomes payable, the County Commissioners of
Baltimore County are hereby authorized, empowered and
directed to annually levy a tax upon the assessable property of
Baltimore County sufficient to pay and redeem said certificates
as they mature and sufficient to pay the interest thereon as the
same may become due and payable. All assessments of benefits

Towson Sewerage Area, as said area is now constituted or may
from time to time hereafter be extended or enlarged, over and
in excess of the one hundred and eighty-one thousand dollars
($181, 000. 00) assessment of benefits heretofore made within
the Towson Sewerage Area, and for which certificates of in-
debtedness have been issued, shall be set aside and applied
by the County Commissioners of Baltimore County in payment
of the certificates (principal and interest) authorized by this
Act, and for no other purpose.

All such assessments and levies, including those past due and
in arrears as well as those due and becoming due in the future,
shall be due, if payable annually, on the first day of January
in each and every year and shall be collected and the payment
thereof enforced by the Treasurer of Baltimore County in the
same manner and at the same time as State and County taxes

ginning on the first day of the following March, shall be added
