termine to be for the best interests of the Town, but no
such sale shall be made at a price so low as to require the
payment of interest on the money received therefor at
more than four and one-half per centum (4-½%) per
annum, computed with relation to the absolute maturity of
the bonds in accordance with standard tables of bond values,
excluding, however, from such computation the amount of
any premium to be paid on redemption of any bonds prior
to any maturity.
The proceeds of said bonds shall be placed in a special

interest on all such bonds that may be issued and outstand-

shall mature. In case such bonds shall be issued in any
year after the making of the regular levy for that year,

the Town, either as to rate or amount, and shall have the
same priority and lien and shall be levied and collected in the
same manner as other town taxes and the payment thereof
shall be enforced in the same manner as payment of other
town taxes are enforced.
SEC. 7. And be it further enacted, That the Town is
hereby authorized to accept from the United States of
America or any agency thereof, the State of Maryland or
any agency thereof, or the County Commissioners of
Charles County grants for or in aid of said sewerage sys-
