that organized and employed under this sub-division of this
Article, and no officer or other employe of the said Mayor
and City Council of Baltimore shall disburse any money
therefor; and the power of said Mayor and City Council to
levy and collect taxes and appropriate and disburse money
for the payment of the police force organized and employed
under this sub-division of this Article shall be exercised as
herein directed, and not otherwise; and in case the amount so
as aforesaid to be estimated by the said Board shall from any
cause prove insufficient for the necessary expenses for the
current year, the said Board is authorized and empowered
to issue certificates and raise money therefrom, as hereinbefore
provided to meet the said exigency; provided, however, that no
additional issue shall exceed the sum of fifty thousand dollars

imposed upon them by law; provided that such requisition in
any year shall not exceed for any specified purpose, or in the

them by law, than the amount which may have been appro-
priated in the Ordinance of Estimates for that year, the
Board of Police Commissioners is hereby authorized to make
requisitions upon the Board of Estimates of Baltimore city
for such additional amount as they may deem necessary to
meet such emergency, and the Board of Estimates of Baltimore
city is authorized, if in their judgment such an emergency has
