LAWS OF MARYLAND

Ch. 805

(c)  It shall be the duty of the Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission to construct when needed, on some
convenient site or sites to be selected by it, an
incinerator or incinerators of a modern type for the
disposal of garbage, trash, rubbish, refuse or junk, and the
commission may acquire such land as it may need for the
disposition of garbage, trash or junk anywhere within or
without the sanitary district. For the purpose of acquiring
a site for an incinerator or incinerators or other refuse
disposal plants, and for the purpose of securing land for
the disposition of garbage, trash, or junk, the commission
shall have the same right to condemn land as it now has
under existing law for the condemnation of land for the
construction of its water and sewer lines, which right shall
extend to any needed land beyond the boundaries of the
sanitary district.

(d)  For the purpose of defraying the cost of such
construction, including the necessary equipment and
accessories, the commission is authorized to issue its bonds
or notes under its hand and seal, in a sum not to exceed
$200,000 with interest [not to exceed 5% per annum] AS
PROVIDED IN § 4-4 OF THIS ARTICLE, maturing serially, in
such amounts annually as may be fixed by [said] THE
commission, but all payable within a period of twenty years
from date, and [said] THE bonds or notes shall be sold as
the general construction bonds of [said] THE commission are
now sold; and for the purpose of paying interest on [said]
THE bonds and principal of the same as they become due,
[said] THE commission is authorized to make and fix a
reasonable schedule of charges for the reception and
disposal of all garbage, trash, rubbish, refuse or junk.
The receipts therefrom, including the permit fees
heretofore, authorized, after the payment of the costs of
operation shall be applied toward the payment of principal
and interest, and in the event that the net proceeds of
[said] THE fees and charges are not enough to meet the
carrying charges of [said] THE bonds or notes, [said] THE
commission is authorized to pay the difference out of the
general water receipts provided for in this article;
provided, however, that in the event part of. the [said]
water receipts are used for the carrying charges of [said]
THE bonds or notes, the commission shall adjust the water
rates, either consumption charge or service charge, in its
discretion, on all property served by the commission to the
extent necessary to meet [said] THE adjustment, which
charges may be changed from year to year under the
provisions of this article.

(e)  The commission may exempt from the operation of
this [article] SECTION, with the approval of the county
health officer, any person, firm or institution residing in
the above defined boundaries, engaged in feeding garbage to
hogs.
