Similar changes are made ,in

section 29~ )yith reference to the minimum taxes for schpol purposes.

section 315 and substitutes a new sutisection. The effect of the amendment is to change the date on whic~ the first penalty op taxes accrues from April 1st of th~ year rfol1owmg the default to January 1st.

Section 30 of the Bill adds a new subsection to

section 348 of the Act. The new subsection authorizes a towp or village to borrow money for the purpose of purchasing or redeem­ ing, {n advance of maturity, outstanding debentures, and provides that such a by-law need not be submitted to the proprietary electors. ) ·

iii

Section 31 of the Bill adds two new subsections to

section 344 of the Act. The new subsections provide that a borrow­ ing by-law may provide that all or part of the debentures authorized by the by-law may be redeemable at specified times before maturity and sets out details that must be specified in the by-law in such a case and the procedure to be followed by a town or village desiring to redeem. Sub­

section ( 6) makes these provisions as to redemption, etc., applicable to by-laws already passed which have provisions substantially the same as those provided for in the new pro­ visions and also applicable to debentures issued under the by-laws if they have an endorsement similar to that required by paragraph (

d) of subsection (5).

Section 32 of the Bill adds a proviso to

section 351. That

section requires a debenture by-law to be passed within a period of four weeks of the voting thereon. The proviso authorizes the Board of Public Utility Commissioners to ex­ tend this period.

Section 34 of the Bill strikes out

section · 396 of the Act and enacts a new

section in substitution therefor. The sec­ tion now in force authorizes a town or village, where deben­ tures have been issued but not sold, mortgaged, etc., to cancel such debentures and issue new ones which may have a dif­ ferent mode of payment, so long as neither the period over which the debentures run nor the rate of interest is in­ creased, nor the principal increased beyond the amount due on the original debentures. Subsection (1) of the new sec­ tion 396 is substantially the same as the

section now in force except that the interest on the new debentures may be greater or less than on cancelled debentures. Subsections (2), (8) and (4) are new and provide for the approval of .the Board of Public Utility Commissioners, and that an hypothecation under

section 348 shall not constitute a sale, etc. This refers to an hypothecation of the debentures before sale as security for a loan.

Section 35 amends Form F in the manner made necessary by the change in the date of the annual meeting. W. S. GRAY, Legislative Counsel. (This note do(}s n.ot form any part of the Bill but is offered i1~ explanation of its provision,s.)
