use the same to create a revolving design fund; and to repeal
Chapter 177 of the Laws of Maryland of 1966, which authorized

of said Acts; and

Whereas, it has been determined that it would not now be in the
best interests of the City to borrow the aforementioned amounts of
money; now, therefore,

That Chapter 211 of the Laws of Maryland of 1961, Chapter 175 of
the Laws of Maryland of 1963, Chapter 93 of the Laws of Maryland
of 1966 and Chapter 177 of the Laws of Maryland of 1966 be and
they are hereby repealed.

Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That this Act is hereby
declared to be an emergency measure and necessary for the imme-
diate preservation of the public health and safety, and having been
passed by a yea and nay vote supported by three-fifths of the mem-
bers elected to each of the two Houses of the General Assembly of
Maryland, the same shall take effect from the date of its passage.
