*From the fiscal year 1885-86 to the fiscal year 1899-1900, inclusive, the City could make annually appropriations, to be met by the general
revenue of the City and by taxes, to the amount of the interest and sinking-fund requirements, to the amount of the County expenses up to $425,000
and to the further amount of $9 on each $1,000 of the average of the assessed valuations for the preceding five years, less abatements.

and Stat. 1887, Chap. 281), and authorizing the City Council to make appropriations annually to the amount of the interest and sinking-fund require-
ments, to the total amount of County expenses, and to the further amount of $10.50 on each $1,000 of the average of the assessors' valuations for the
preceding three years, less abatements to Dec. 31 of year preceding. By Chapter 521, Acts of 1910, the limit of $10.50 on each $1,000 was raised to
$10.55, by Chapter 184, Special Acts of 1915 to $10.60, by Chapter 267. Special Acts of 1916 to $11.02, by Chaps. 120 and 132, Special Acts of 1918,
