through the ensuing years as a result of millage levies made over and above the operating
millage to most obligations of the City in the years 1936, 1937. 1938 and 1939, and that
while these obligations were met and completed, in those years, bookkeeping procedure re-
quired that tax certificates for those years be set up on this same break -down, so that
redemptions of'these,in subsequent years has resulted in collections that were still
deposited to these funds, in accordance with the original set -up. Of these 3 funds.,
quite some years ago to befor
usedlasua revolving street fund out of FUND was designated

q y g which street im-
provements are paid and the collections for liens on same deposited thereto, and the

(CAMBRIDGE LAWS SUBD.) at the time of the Murphy Act, and into which the Hinds de-
rived from the Cigarette Tax have been deposited for safe keeping. The Clerk also
