WHEREAS, 1t appears to the board of

board, passed at a regular session on April
rs, 1891, and approved by said board on
May 2, 1891. under and by virtue of the pro-
visions of Chapter 80 of the acts of the
first legislative assembly of the state of
North Dakota, relative to the issuance of
bonds of said Burleigh county for the sole
purpose of funding and refunding the out
standing indebtedness of said county and
Tor the purpose of paying any final iudg-
ment which may have been rendered
against said county, failed to provide at the
time OF the passage of said resolution, or at
any time heretofore, for the collection of an
annual tax sufficient to pay the inter-
est and also the principal of the bonds of
said county, to-wit: In the sum of ST. 500,
issued under and pursuant to said resolu-
ton, as is required by section 1874 of the
Constitution of the state of North Dakota.
and,
Whereas, 1t appears to said board that
said resolution wholly failed to provide for
the collection of any tax for the purpose OF

Whereas, 1t further appears to said
board that the interest on said
bonds issued under said resoIu-
ton have been fully Daid
when the same became due to date.
Now, therefore, be it resolved by said
board under the requirements of the said
section OF the constitution Of said state, and
