municipality or by any other public agency within the State of
Maryland.

Sec. 9. And be it further enacted, That the authority to borrow

authorizing the County to borrow money are hereby continued to
the extent that the powers contained in such acts have not heretofore
been exercised, and nothing herein contained shall be construed to
impair, in any way whatsoever, the validity of any bonds which
may have been issued by the County under the authority of any of
said Acts, and the validity of said bonds is hereby ratified, confirmed
and approved.
