made for an annual levy and collection OF tax
to meet the interest and provide per cent. for

is void unless the payment of the debt is pro-
tected by the tax. Alderman Purney thinks the
amount paid per acre 5000 was too much, while
others think il 4 low price, and that it is now
worth more than the price contracted for.
