ness is not pledged for any other loan. Said certificate attached
to and delivered with the note of the city, as above provided,
shall constitute a pledge of the indebtedness of said parties to
the city as collateral security for the said note, or any renewal
thereof as above provided. The City Collector shall collect said
indebtedness, as provided in said ordinance, just as if the same
