ALBERT C. RITCHIE, GOVERNOR. 689

SEC. 6. And be it further enacted, That the bonds issued
hereunder shall be the direct obligation of the said town, and
the said town shall be responsible for the payment therefor.
That for the purpose of redeeming said bonds and paying the
interest thereon the Mayor and Council of Berlin are hereby
authorized to levy on all property situated in the town limits
of said town such a sum as may be necessary to pay the interest
on said bonds and the principal or any part thereof, as it
becomes due.

SEC. 7. And be it further enacted, That at the regular
municipal election to be held in the town of Berlin in May,
1924, there shall be submitted to the qualified voters of Berlin
the questions whether the Mayor and Council of Berlin shall
have authority to extend, add to and improve the electric light
plant in said town, and to issue bonds therefor, and at such
special election the ballots used and cast upon the questions
shall have printed or written thereon the words "For the Im-
provements and Bond Issue" and ''Against the Improvements
and Bond Issue, " and if a majority of the votes cast upon said
questions shall be "For the Improvements and Bond Issue, " the
Mayor and Council of Berlin shall proceed to exercise the
power vested in them by this Act; but if a majority of the
votes cast upon said questions shall be "Against the Improve-
ments and Bond Issue, " then the questions before mentioned
shall again be submitted to the qualified voters of said town,
in the same manner at the next regular town election, and if at
that election the majority of the votes cast upon said questions
shall be "For the Improvements, and Bond Issue, " then the
Mayor and Council shall proceed to exercise the power vested in
them by this Act, but if a majority of the votes cast upon said
questions shall be "Against the Improvements and Bond Issue, "
then this Act shall be null and void and the improvements shall
not be made nor shall the bands be issued.

SEC. 8. And be it further enacted, That this Act is hereby
declared to be an emergency law and necessary for the immedi-
ate preservation of the public health and safety, and having
been passed by a yea and nay vote supported by three-fifths of
all the members elected to each of the two Houses of the Gen-
eral Assembly, the same shall take effect from the date of its
