l. The implied powers Of a corpor.

indispensably necessary to carry into
effect those which are expressly
granted, but comprise all that are
necessary, in the sense of being appro-
pirate, convenient and suitable for
such purposes. including the right Of a

power to afford relief to it's members
by furnishing them :he care of a phy-
sician in time Of sickness may be fairly
implied from the general scope of the

construction such resolutions are in
tended to have, and do have. the effect
of bylaws, only when they are not in

have the effect of amending OF repeal
