(iii) The Commission shall then deduct such total from the amounts
so needed and the difference, if any, shall be the amount to be raised
by the levy of said ad valorem tax in said sub-district in the ensuing
fiscal year.

(iv) Thereupon, the Commission shall certify such amount to the
County which shall fix and levy such ad valorem tax at a rate sufficient
to produce the required amount.

Said tax, when levied, shall have the same priority, bear the same
interest and penalties and in every respect be treated the same as
County taxes levied in said sub-district. Every sixty days, the County
Treasurer shall remit to the Commission the proceeds of said tax
collected since the prior remittance and the Commission shall credit
and apportion said proceeds to and among the several expenditure
accounts on its books for which said tax was levied. Upon the clos-
ing of any such account, any surplus tax proceeds credited thereto
may be transferred by the Commission to any other such account in
which there is a deficiency or may be expended on any other project or
projects in the sub-district or may be held by the Commission as a
credit for use in calculating the amount of ad valorem tax to be
levied in the following fiscal year.

(b) Nothing contained in sub-paragraph (a) above shall be con-
strued as in any manner relieving the County of its unconditional
pledge of its full faith and credit to the payment of the principal of
and interest on any bonds issued by the District pursuant to Section
534 of this sub-title, and, if the revenues provided in this sub-title
shall at any time be insufficient to pay said principal and interest,
the County is hereby directed to levy upon all property in the County
subject to unlimited County taxation, an ad valorem tax in rate and
amount sufficient to make up the deficiency.

[(b)] (c) In order that the prompt payment of interest and the
proper provision for the payment of the principal of [said] bonds
of the District shall be assured, the prompt and proper performance
of the respective acts and duties heretofore defined is specifically
enjoined, and any failure upon the part of any person, persons, body
corporate or agent to perform the necessary acts and duties [here-
after] herein set forth, to pay over the said funds as required, or to
use said funds or any part thereof for any other purposes than [for
the payment of the principal and interest on said bonds] those set
forth in sub-paragraph (a) of this Section is hereby declared a
misdemeanor and punishable as other misdemeanors are punishable
under the provisions of Section 551 of this sub-title.

main or sewer is laid, a water service pipe or sewer connection, which
shall be extended as required, from the water main or sewer to the
property line of [the] each such abutting lot [,] . [said] Said service
pipe or connection with sewer shall be constructed by and at the
[sole] expense of the [Commission] District [but subject to] to be
recovered by a reasonable charge by the District for [said] each
such connection [as provided in Section 539 of this sub-title], which
said charge shall be uniform throughout each sub-district and shall
