[If the majority of the "Friendship Heights Village
Council" decide the sun hereinbefore authorized to be taxed
and levied is an insufficient amount for the ensuing year,
or any succeeding year, then and in that event the village
council, or resident taxpayers of the villages affected by
this subtitle, may, on or before April 15, 1914, or any
succeeding year, petition in writing the county council of
Montgomery County to make an additional special levy and tax
of not more than 30 cents on each $100 of the assessable
value of the real and personal property in the villages,
such petition to be signed by the majority of the village
council, or whatever number of resident taxpayers as may
satisfy the county council of the fact that there is a
general public demand on the part of the residents, citizens
and taxpayers of the villages for an additional special levy
and such special tax for such purposes as hereinbefore
mentioned. A special levy of the additional special tax may
not be made on the property, unless notice of the intention
of the county council to make the additional special levy,
the purpose or purposes thereof and the amount thereof and
approximate effect of the additional special levy on the tax
rate of the villages shall be published in one or more
newspapers of the county for two consecutive weeks,
designating the date upon which the county council shall
meet for the purpose of hearing objections to the additional
special levy. On the date fixed for the hearing, the
council shall hear the advocates and opponents of the
additional special levy and thereafter determine the amount
if any, of whatever special levy for the villages. The
additional special levy may not be greater than 30 cents on
each $100 of the assessable value of real and personal
property in any one year. ]
