SECTION 2. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That the
proceeds of the bonds shall be used for the purpose of
enlarging, increasing and augmenting the water supply of the

all the necessary pipe lines and accessories appurtenant
thereto, and the construction of major supply lines and
reinforcing mains.

purpose of retiring bonds authorized to be issued by this
Act, and payment of the interest thereon, there shall be
levied against all of the assessable property within the
Sanitary District, by the County Council of Montgomery
County and by the County Council of Prince George's County,
or such governing body for each county, respectively, as may
be provided by law or instrument of Charter, if adopted,
annually, so long as the bonds are outstanding and not paid,
a tax sufficient to meet the interest on the bonds, and to
pay the principal thereof as the principal and interest
mature or become due. The tax shall be determined, levied,
collected, and paid over to the Commission in the manner

thereof, and all of the provisions of Section 6 shall apply

determined as necessary to pay the annual requirements of
the bonds hereby authorized. The sum so collected annually
from water service charges shall be deducted from the amount
which the commission has determined to be necessary to be
raised by direct taxation upon certification to the County
Councils of Montgomery and Prince George's Counties, or such
governing body for each county, respectively, as may be
provided by law or instrument of Charter, if adopted.
