approve, relating to (i) the use by such agency or by such county or
the inhabitants thereof of any project acquired or constructed by
the Commission under this sub-title or the services therefrom or the

any ordinance or resolution of the governing body of a county enacted
pursuant thereto shall be irrepealable so long as any of the bonds
issued under the authority of this sub-title for such District shall
be outstanding and unpaid, and the provisions of any such contract,
and of any ordinance or resolution enacted pursuant thereto shall be
and be deemed to be for the benefit of such bondholders. The aggre-

collected pursuant to any such contract or any ordinance or resolu-
tion enacted thereunder shall be sufficient to pay all obligations which
may be assumed by the other contracting party.
