Whereas the act fourteenth Victoria, chapter twenty-eight, entitled, “An act respecting fire engines at Dartmouth,” empowered the grand jury of Halifax to present to the sessions to confirm a sum not to exceed two hundred pounds, to be assessed for the purpose of providing and repairing fire engines at Dartmouth. And whereas the inhabitants of the town of Dartmouth, at a meeting held on Monday, the ninth day of March, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and fifty-seven, voted a sum of two hundred and sixty-five pounds, to be assessed for the purpose of providing fire engines and apparatus for the use of the town.

Be it therefore enacted by the Governor, Council, and Assembly, as follows:

Sum to be assessed:
1. The grand jury may present and the sessions may confirm such sum of two hundred and sixty-five pounds, to be assessed within the limits mentioned in such act, and the sum presented and confirmed shall be assessed in not less than five nor more than six instalments, one in each year, until the whole shall be assessed and collected.

Firewards may borrow the amount:
2. The fire wards or their successors may borrow the sum so presented and confirmed, payable as the same shall be assessed and collected, and the interest on such loan shall be added to the amount so presented and confirmed and collected therewith, and the firewards for the time being shall apply the same to the discharge of the amount so borrowed with interest.

Sec. 3, act amended, repealed:
3. Section third of the act hereby amended is repealed.
