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 Jeading 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.

The said bonds when issued shall not bear interest at a greater

made or tax imposed in said county, a tax not in conflict with
general law 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

said bonds so issued and to create a sinking fund to redeem the
principal thereof at maturity.

of said county herein referred to are badly in need of ‘repair and
improvement, an emergency is declared to exist, and this act shall
be in force from its passage. ,
