to, shall be used for the purpose of improving and constructing
the roads in the order as mentioned herein, except, however, the
said board, in its discretion, may exclude from the provisions
of this act the road described in paragraph (a) supra, in the
event the said board should be of opinion that said road will not
in the near future be built with federal aid, in which latter event
the road leading from Painter’s store to the Frederick county
line by way of Reliance shall first be permanently improved and
constructed, and the residue of said fund shall be expended as
provided in paragraph (c) supra.

nent improvement and construction of the following roads in

keting of county “road bonds.” The said bonds when issued shall

tersigned by the clerk of said board, and shall be payable at
such time or times as the said board may determine, not exceed-
ing thirty years from the date of issue.

The funds arising from the sale of the bonds, or any portion
thereof, shall be expended for the purposes herein indicated
and none other, and shall be so expended, or any part thereof,
by the said board in such manner as to it shall seem proper; that
is to say, the said fund, or any part thereof, may be expended
by the said board either with:or without the supervision of the
State highway commission, as said board may from time to time
determine.

_ After issuing such bonds, or any of them, when the next levy
is made or tax imposed in said county, a tax shall be levied on
all property liable to county and district tax in such magisterial
district in which the proceeds of the bonds have been or are to
be expended, including such property located on the situs of

situated within such district, to pay the interest on said bonds
so issued and to create a sinking fund to redeem the principal
thereof at maturity.

2. In view of the fact that the roads in the magisterial dis-
tricts of said county herein referred to are badly in need of re-
pair and improvement, an emergency .is declared to exist, and
this act shall be in force from its passage. :
