PHILLIPS LEE GOLDSBOROUGH, GOVERNOR. 501

WHEREAS, An additional number of private properties in
said City will be connected with private sewers before said sew-
erage system will be so far developed as to be connected with

pense in the aggregate for the owners of such properties to re-
construct their plumbing systems;

Assembly of Maryland, That, in order to provide additional
money for the projection, construction, establishment and com-
pletion of said sewerage system, including in said system the
disposal of sewage and drainage from property belonging to
or under the control of the Mayor and City Council of Balti-
more, the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore is hereby au-
thorized to issue bonds or certificates of stock of said corporation
for a sum not exceeding three million dollars ($3,000,000), said
bonds or certificates of stock to be issued by ordinance, and to
be issued for such amounts and to be payable at such time or
times, and to bear such rate of interest, not exceeding 5%, as
the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore shall, by ordinance,
provide; the money so realized from the sale of said stock to
be used for the purposes specified in said Chapter 349 of the
Acts of 1904, and Chapter 630 of the Act of 1910, and to be
