AN ACT to repeal Chapter 30 of the Acts of the General Assembly
of 1958, relating to the right of the Board of County Commission-

rate of interest and re-payment of any such borrowed monies and
the use of the proceeds thereof; and to re-enact, without change,

doubts about its unconstitutionality.

1958 the Board of County Commissioners of St. Mary's County was

Assembly following the thirtieth calendar day of the 1958 Session
and also because it might be construed to be a "local" bill; and

WHEREAS, It is deemed desirable to resolve any such questions of
invalidity by re-enacting said Chapter 30 without change; now,
therefore
