until all of the interest on and principal of any bonds
issued under this Act shall 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, 1976, and on

Board of Public Works shall certify to the governing
bodies of each of the counties and Baltimore City the
rate of State tax on each $100 of assessable property
necessary to produce revenue to meet interest and
principal which will be payable to the close of the next
ensuing taxable year on all bonds theretofore issued or
authorized by resolution of the Board of Public Works to
be issued, and the governing bodies of each of the
counties and of Baltimore City shall forthwith levy and
collect such tax at such rate.

Provided, however, that the levy or levies required
