74-55.1 (1590A)

(a)  The Commission is hereby directed to adopt on or before July
OCTOBER 1, 1959, a five year projected program of major extensions
of sewer and water facilities in the Sanitary District and in such
other areas within Montgomery and Prince George's County as the
Commission may deem appropriate for inclusion within the Sanitary
District within the next five years, and to revise and bring up to date
on or before every first day of July OCTOBER thereafter such pro-
gram by the addition thereto of additional projects to be added to such
extension program, and such program and annual revisions thereof
shall set forth the order of construction priority and estimated cost of
each project included therein. Said Commission shall thereafter
adhere to and follow such program in the priority so established for
the extension of its facilities and shall not deviate or depart from such
order of priority until and unless said Commission by resolution
shall determine and declare that, for the immediate preservation
of the public health and safety, it is necessary to change the order
of priority and to direct the extension of such facilities without
regard to the order of priority previously established, and except as
otherwise required by this section.

(b)  Thirty or more days before the adoption of its annual five-year
sewer and water construction programs the Commission shall trans-
mit to the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission
its proposed programs, including dates of construction priority and
estimated cost of the projects included therein, along with a general
statement in explanation of such proposed programs, and the Com-
mission shall not thereafter adopt its final construction programs for
the ensuing five years until it shall have received from said Park and
Planning Commission its comment on the proposed programs and
priorities or until thirty days shall have passed, whichever shall be
sooner. If said Park and Planning Commission shall recommend any
changes or deletions in the proposed programs, it shall state its
reasons therefor, and the Sanitary Commission shall re-examine its
proposed programs and give due weight to the recommendations of
said Park and Planning Commission before making final adoption
of the programs, it being the intent of the General Assembly that
the two Commissions shall make every reasonable effort to reach
agreement with respect to the programs required by this section
