the purpose of paying off an exist
ing overdraft in the county poor fund

O0O, 900 in amount, and for other poor
relief purposes, in the aggregate
amount Of not exceeding $1,000, 900

nish support and relief to the depend
ent poor of said county; and

the judgment of this board, that
there should be enacted into law,
authority for this board to issue
and dispose of tax anticipation Ger.
tificates, or notes, in anticipation of
taxes levied and to be collected In
order that said county may avail
itself of lower rates of interest than
the legal rate of interest on county
warrants, for the several county pur-
poses of the said county, and relieve
demands upon the banks Of said
county for the carrying of county
warrants for indefinite periods or
time.
Now, therefore, be it resolved,
that such an enabling act authoriz-
ing this board to issue tax anticl-
patton certificates of Indebtedness

poses. should be amended SO as 10
increase said statutory limit OF levy
for such purposes to two mills, IN
stead of one mill, and that said law
should be amended so that SAID levy
when made by the county poor com,
mission, shall be subject to final
by the board of county commission
ers of said county, and authorize
the issuance of certificates OF in
debtedness by the county board In
case of an emergency, in accordance
with the provisions OF a rough draft
amendment to Section 1899, Laws
Whereas, in the judgment of this
board, it is desirable, and in the
mission law should also be amended
so as to provide for the appoint
ment by the county board of two
members of said board, to be and
act as additional members Of the
county poor commission, one of said
members to be selected from the
southerly half of st. Louis county,
and the other from the northerly
half thereof, each to serve during
the pleasure of the county board.

said amendments in said poor COM
mission law be and hereby are ap-
proved, and said legislative delega-
ton is hereby urged to enact the
