dinances

10. The said commissioners, or a majority of them,
shall have full power to make all such by-laws, regu-

nuisances, preservation of health, and suppression of
vice and immorality within the limits of said town
and shall have power to lay an equal tax on the asses-
sable property within said limits to such an amount as
may from time to time be deemed necessary to accom-
plish the purpose aforesaid, which tax shall be collected
and paid to the president and commissioners by the
collector by them appointed, who shall have the same

county assessment has to distrain for the same, and the
said president and commissioners shall fix the term of
office, amount of bond, and compensation of such col-
lector.
