O knihe

Excerpt from The Common Pleas Reporter, Vol. 2: Containing Reports of Cases Decided in the County Courts and the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania

It was evidently in the mind of the legislature that the ordinary tax levy for general revenue would not provide for the extraordinary powers granted in the clauses enumerated from two to thirty two and they might be a dead letter, because of the waht of any provision for the money to pay for them. They could have provided for it by enlarging the power to tax for general revenue, but this would have given too much power to councils to increase a continuing burden. They therefore left the raising of this money to be provided for by loans. Ample power is given to create loans up to two per centum or by a vote of the people to a higher point. This power is found in clauses 41 and 42 and section 11 of the Act of Assembly. Itis a power well guarded and cannot be exercised without thecitizens of the city being aware of it. It is not the increase of a debt by the imperceptible and unconscious addition of items invited through an unlimited power to levy taxes, which has been the ruin of many municipal ities.
