different state OF things exist now. The Boart
/ oil Llquidators, acquiescng in the above decision
have determined to recognize and under the LAY
OF lS47, and will not, your committee are informe
and believe, divert said funds from the object the
| creation That the law of 1880, providing for tn
payment Of the debt of the city before its division
and for the debts of each OF the Municipalities Great
ed since, administered it by gentlemen OF hig
integrity and standing in our community, will greatly
relieve this Municipality from its present embar-
rassment, your committee have every reason to
believe. 1t will at once take from our shoulders
the entire debt of the Municipality contracted pre-.
vous to 9th May, 1850, and place it where prov-
sion is made for its liquidation. And the decision
OF our Courts on the law OF 1850 ITSELF rendering
sacred the Sinking Funds established under the
law OF lS47, should be sufficient guarantee to
those who come under the provisions of the new
law, that no subsequent act of the Legislature can
impair the obligations OF this act of 1880, which
provides so fully for the payment of the bonds to be
issued under its provisions.
Your committee would therefore recommend to
your honorable body the adoption OF the following
resolution.
