SECTION 7. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That the County
may, prior to the preparation of definitive bonds, issue
interim certificates or temporary bonds, with or without
coupons, exchangable for definitive bonds when such bonds
have been executed and are available for delivery, provided,
however, that any such interim certificates or temporary
bonds shall be issued in all respects subject to the
restrictions and requirements set forth in this Act. The
County may, by appropriate resolution, provide for the
replacement of any bonds issued hereunder which shall have
become mutilated or lost or destroyed upon such conditions
and after receiving such indemnity as the County may
require.

SECTION 8. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That any and all
obligations issued pursuant to the authority of this Act,
their transfer, the interest payable thereon, and any income
derived therefrom in the hands of the holders thereof from
time to time (including any profit made in the sale thereof)
shall be and are hereby declared to be at all times exempt
from State, county, municipal or other taxation of every
kind and nature whatsoever within the State of Maryland.

SECTION 9. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That the
authority to borrow money and issue bonds conferred on the
County by this Act shall be deemed to provide an additional
and alternative authority for borrowing money and shall be
regarded as supplemental and additional to powers conferred
upon the County by other laws and shall not be regarded as
in derogation of any power now existing; and all Acts of the
General Assembly of Maryland heretofore passed authorizing
the County to borrow money are hereby continued to the
extent that the power contained in such Acts have not
heretofore been exercised, unless such Acts are herein
expressly repealed, and nothing herein contained shall be
construed to impair, in any way whatsoever, the validity of
any bonds which may have been issued by the County under the
authority of any said Acts, and the validity of said bonds
is hereby ratified, confirmed and approved. This Act, being
necessary for the welfare of the inhabitants of the County,
shall be liberally construed to effect the purposes hereof.
All Acts and parts of Acts inconsistent with the provisions
of this Act are hereby repealed to the extent of such
inconsistency.

SECTION 10. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That this Act
shall take effect June 1, 1981.

Approved May 19, 1981.
