SPIRO T. AGNEW, Governor                       649

Sec. 7. And be it further enacted, That any furniture, fixtures
and/or equipment authorized to be paid for from the sales of the
Certificates of Indebtedness authorized by this Act shall be, where
possible, manufactured or produced by the State Use Industries
operated by the Department of Correction, in accordance with the
provisions of Section 681 of Article 27, Annotated Code of Maryland
(1967 Replacement Volume).

Sec. 8. And be it further enacted, That, except as otherwise
provided in this Act, no department, board, commission, agency or
institution specified or named in this Act shall begin any work with
funds secured pursuant to the provisions of this Act unless satisfac-
tory assurances are made to the Board of Public Works that the work
described in the individual terms in this Act can be completed with
the Funds specified for each such item respectively.

Sec. 9. And be it further enacted, That where Federal funds may
be available to help accomplish any specific projects in this Act, the
using department or agency shall be obligated to seek the allocation
of such Federal funds to apply to the cost of the particular project.
In seeking approval of the Board of Public Works for award of a
contract under a specific appropriation under this Act, the using
department or agency shall formally advise the Board of Public
Works that efforts have been made through proper administrative
procedures to obtain such Federal funds, and the reason, if any,
why the Federal funds were not obtained. Availability of Federal
funds where allocated is intended to defray the cost of the approved
project, not expand its scope, except in the case of projects of the
Department of Forests and Parks. These latter projects may be
expanded in scope beyond that proposed in the specific appropriation
in this Act if the addition of Federal funds makes this possible, but
not beyond the total park acreage or development contemplated for
the State park or recreation area to which it applies, as evident from
the master plan for State parks and recreation areas as adopted by
the Department of Forests and Parks.

Sec. 10. And be it further enacted, That if any project listed in
Section 5 of this Act shall not have been contracted for within two
(2) years from the effective date of this Act, then such project shall
be deemed to have been abandoned. If the total loan authorized
herein shall have been issued within two (2) years from the effective
date of this Act, then the amount specified herein for said abandoned
project shall be transferred to the Annuity Bond Fund and shall be
applied to the debt service requirements of the State. If, however,
the total loan authorized herein shall not have been issued within two
(2) years from the effective date of this Act, then the total issuable
Certificates of Indebtedness authorized herein shall be reduced by the
amount specified herein for said abandoned project.

Sec. 11. And be it further enacted, That until all of the interest
on and principal of any certificates issued under this Act have been
paid in full, there is hereby levied and imposed an annual State tax
on each $100 of assessable property at the rate to be determined in
the following manner: on or before May 1, 1969, and on or before
May 1 in each year thereafter, the Board of Public Works shall
certify to the governing bodies of each of the counties and Baltimore
