within the corporate limits of the County in rate and amount sufficient
to provide for the payment, when due, of the interest and principal
of all said bonds maturing in each such fiscal year and in the event
the proceeds from the taxes so levied in any such fiscal year shall
prove inadequate for the above purposes, additional taxes shall be
levied in the succeeding fiscal year to make up any such deficiency.
The County may apply to the payment of principal and interest of
any bonds issued hereunder any funds received by it from the State
of Maryland, the United States of America, any agency or instru-
mentality thereof, or from any other source, if such funds are granted
for the purpose of assisting the County in public school construction,
and to the extent of any such funds received or receivable in any fiscal
year the taxes hereby required to be levied may be reduced propor-
tionately.

Sec. 6. And be it further enacted, That the County is hereby
further authorized and empowered, at any time and from time to
time to issue its bonds in the manner hereinabove described for the
purpose of refunding, upon purchase or redemption, any bonds issued
hereunder. The validity of any such refunding bonds shall in no way
be dependent upon or related to the validity or invalidity of the obliga-
tions so refunded. The powers herein granted with respect to the
issuance of bonds, and also the limitations herein on such powers
shall be applicable to the issuance of refunding bonds. Said refunding
bonds may be issued by the County for the purpose of providing it
with funds to purchase in the open market any of its outstanding
bonds issued hereunder, prior to the maturity thereof, or for the
purpose of providing it with funds for the redemption prior to ma-
turity of any outstanding bonds issued hereunder which are, by their
terms, redeemable. The resolution authorizing the issue of any such
refunding bonds shall describe the issue or issues of bonds of the
County so to be refunded, and no issue of such refunding bonds shall
exceed in amount the par amount of such bonds so described in said
resolution. No such refunding bonds shall actually be delivered to
the purchaser or purchasers thereof more than six (6) months in
advance of redemption date or dates of bonds to be redeemed and re-
funded and the proceeds of the sale of any such refunding bonds shall
be segregated and set apart by the County as a separate trust fund
to be used solely for the purpose of paying the purchase or re-
demption prices of the bonds to be refunded.

Sec. 7. And be it further enacted, That, in the issuance of any of
the bonds authorized hereby, the County may, prior to the prepara-
tion of definitive bonds or obligations, issue interim certificates or
temporary bonds, with or without coupons, exchangeable for defini-
tive bonds when such bonds or obligations have been executed and
are available for delivery, provided, however, that any such interim
certificates or temporary bonds shall be issued in all respects subject
to the restrictions and requirements set forth herein. The County
may, by appropriate resolution, provide for the replacement of any
bonds issued hereunder which shall have become mutilated or be
destroyed or lost upon such conditions and after receiving such indem-
nity as the County may think it proper and necessary to stipulate
and require.

Sec. 8. And be it further enacted, That any and all obligations
issued pursuant to the authority of this Act, the interest payable
