in a special fund and in no case to be used for any other purpose. In
case such bonds shall be issued in any year after the making of the
regular levy for that year, then the County Commissioners of Charles
County are empowered, authorized and directed to pay any and all
interest becoming due before the next levy, out of any other funds at
their disposal, and to levy at the next succeeding levy an amount
