of subsections (c) and (d) of Section 83-42 (71-1A) of this subtitle
with respect to the subdivision known as Calvert Manor. Any land or
property exempted from or with respect to which there is a suspen-
sion of front foot benefit charges, shall become liable to a benefit
assessment charge at a rate and for a period of time not less than
the rate and number of years which would have applied at the time of
exemption or suspension, when the exemption or suspension condition
is no longer applicable pursuant to the provisions hereof which estab-
lished such condition in the first instance. Property with respect to
which the ad valorem tax is suspended pursuant to the provisions of
this subsection shall, during the period of such suspension only, be
and considered as not within the taxing district of the Sanitary Dis-
trict, as the taxing district is provided for in Section 83-89A (71-
38A), but upon the happening of any condition or circumstance
which removes the suspension from an ad valorem tax the property
shall thereupon be included within the taxing district. Except as
herein specifically provided, every other law, regulation or rule of, or
applicable to, the Washington Suburban Sanitary District shall apply
to any property for which the front foot benefit assessment or ad
valorem tax is suspended.

SEC. 2. And be it further enacted, That if any word, phrase, clause,
sentence or other part or parts of this Act shall be held unconstitu-
tional by any court of competent jurisdiction, such unconstitutional-
ly shall not affect the validity of the remaining parts of this Act.

Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That this Act shall take effect
on July 1, 1969.

Approved May 14, 1969.
