II wilt he remembered that in the taxlevy Of 1853

ated only the sum Of $4,000. Tne Commissioners Of
Record thereupon obtained an alternative mandsmus
to compel the Supervisors to fix the amount as origin
ally propoeed, alleging thst they had already made
contracts in regard to the work which would take the
whole appropriation.
