Your Committee conceive, that the most expeditious method for
raising the said Sum, to render the same of Immediate use for the
Purpose intended, is, that the Sum of two Thousand Pounds Cur-
rent Money of this Province, be borrowed or taken out of the Office
for emitting Bills of Credit, and that the said Sum be repaid into
the said Office by the Ways herein after mentioned, viz. by reenact-
ing such Part of the Act entituled, An Act for the raising and issuing
money for maintaining his Majesty's Forces to be raised in this
Province, and for transporting them to the Place of Rendezvous in
the West Indies, as relates to Ordinary Licenses, and applying the
Fines arising on them, to the Repayment of the said Sum, after
having discharged the Sum by the said Act required: As also by a
Duty of forty shillings on all Horses, imported by Land or Water
into this Province, for Sale.
All which your Committee humbly submit to the Consideration of
your Honourable House.
