at the first bond issue to Doe authorized
by the Council the city must also issue
bonds 10 an amount equal to 10 per
cent 81 the assessed valuation OF the
newly Incorporated realty.
1t had been supposed heretofore that
this setting aside OF 70 per cent. was
optional with the city. the other alter
native beias the expenditure within the
annexed territory OF the revenue derived
therefrom. Plus $50. 600 annually for
three yeai g The option OF the setting,
aside Of j per cent. of the assessed
value OF realty. or Of expending the
revenues derived therefrom at the
county rate Of taxation within the new
territory. exists only unth bond issue

and the setting aside OF - per cent.
becomes mandatory. Such a sum can
only be- raised by an issue Of bonds for
the amount, which is nearly S4O0. GOO.
ana this issue must be made II any

the Council, then it follows OF necessity
tlat the city must order another issue
of about $500 600. the proceeds of which
IL TO be expended within Che now ter

bond issue Tor this purpose would have
to be settled ar the January meeting be-
fore the new budget is made no. if the
