Sec. 6. And be it further enacted, That all unexpended funds
remaining from completed projects authorized under this Act shall
be transferred to the Annuity Bond Fund and shall be applied to the
debt service requirements of the State, said transfer to be made one
year after the date of the final acceptance of the projects by the
State, said date of final acceptance to be certified in writing to the
Board of Public Works by the Department of Public Improvements.

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 Correctional Services, 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 pro-
vided 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 satis-
factory 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 aban-
doned 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.
