89. The council of said town shall annually make, or cause to be made,
and entered upon the record of its proceedings, an estimate and state-
ment of all sums of money which may lawfully be, or may lawfully be-
come, chargeable to said town, and which ought to be paid in one year
from the first day of July, for any and all purposes, including for the
poor and public schools, together with a statement of the purposes or
objects for which said sums of money may be, or may become, chargeable

town on any account, including the poor and public schools. The said
levy shall be made annually for one year, beginning on the first day of
July, and may be made upon dogs and upon all such real and personal
property as may be subject to State taxation and not exempt from taxa-
tion by the Constitution and laws of the State: provided, however, that
the said levy for the benefit of the poor may be such as may be necessary
to enable the council to provide for them, and for the benefit of the
public schools; it shall not exceed the levy or tax allowed by the gen-
eral laws of the State for such purposes, and for all other purposes
of said town it shall not exceed one and one-half per centum of the
assessed value of the taxable property in said town at the time the
said levy may be made: and provided further, that no town tax nor
levy shall be imposed upon the bonds of the said town: and provided
further, that the said town taxes may be assessed or levied upon the
same property upon which State taxes are assessed or levied in said
town and collected in the same manner in which sueh State taxes are
collected.
