previously created, contiguous sanitary district, in
accordance with the determination of the Commission and,
if designated a new sanitary district, shall be given by
the Commission a distinctive name, shall be subject to
all the provisions of this subtitle and shall be a
separate taxing district, and the filing of said plat
shall constitute legal notice to the public of such
action of the Commission.]

[(3) For the purpose of providing for the
organization and preliminary expenses of any newly
constituted or proposed sanitary district, the County
Commissioners of St. Mary's County may furnish the
Commission from time to time any sum, as in its
discretion the County Commissioners may deem proper, all
of which shall be repaid out of the first bond issue, if
any, for the particular sanitary district. The authority
for advances granted by this subsection shall be in
addition to other advances authorized by this subtitle.]

[(4) The Commission is authorized to adopt a
resolution dividing St. Mary's County, or part of St.
Mary's County, into sanitary districts. In order to
develop an appropriate plan for the creation of sanitary
districts, the Commission may be empowered by the County
Commissioners of St. Mary's County to retain such
requisite expert engineering services as may be
necessary, the cost of such services to be paid from the
general funds of St. Mary's County. The resolution
adopted by the Commission shall refer to a plat of St.
Mary's County upon which the proposed sanitary district
lines shall be clearly shown. Such resolution shall not
be legally effective until it is approved by the County
Commissioners of St. Mary's County after public hearing
held following not less than 10 days' notice in one or
more newspapers having a general circulation in St.
Mary's County and until a copy of the resolution and plat
shall be recorded among the land records of St. Mary's
County. The sanitary district lines of any sanitary
district, including those in existence at the time of the
official adoption of such resolution, may be changed by
appropriate resolution referring to a requisite plat,
with approval by the County Commissioners of St. Mary's
County after a public hearing as hereinabove described,
and recordation among the land records of St. Mary's
County; providing that no outstanding bonds shall in any
manner be affected by such amendments. Upon approval by
the County Commissioners of St. Mary's County and filing
of said plat and resolution as provided in this
subsection, new sanitary districts created pursuant to
this subsection shall be, and and the same are hereby
designated and constituted for the purpose of this
subtitle to be separate sanitary districts and shall be
given by the Commission distinctive names, shall be
subject to all the provisions of this subtitle and shall
be separate taxing districts and the filing of said plat
and resolution shall constitute legal notice to the
