Gus tentiun OF the public:
The commissio ers of counties. the

What is the meaning of this sectionl
1t seems clear enough that the object is
To limit the power oftaxalion by these Ia

lakes he assessed unier this Limitation?
1t will be seen that this depends upon the
definition oflhe word police, because tax
rs cannot be authorized for any orher
than police purposes.
In one sense this word signifies the gov
ernmeut and the administration Of the
laws Of a city or town. In legal sense
the tenn would enhance the execution 0t

The Legislature will therefore be author
