twenty-five dollars per month, the street commissioner shall receive a
salary not exceeding ten dollars per month, the clerk shall receive a
salary not exceeding one hundred and twenty dollars per annum, the

after be prescribed before entering upon the duties of their several
offices, the treasurer, sergeant and commissioner of the revenue shall
give bond, with surety to be approved by the town council, in such
sum as the council shall prescribe. The giving of the bond by said
officers shall be entered upon the records of the council and the
original bond shall be filed with the clerk of the council. Until and
unless the amount of the bond required of said officers shall be other-
wise fixed by the council, the bond of the treasurer shall be in the
sum of five thousand dollars, of the sergeant two thousand dollars,
and commissioner of the revenue one thousand dollars.

Sec. 111. The rate of such levies upon real and personal property
shall not exceed one dollar on the one hundred dollars of assessed

the rate of assessment to provide a sinking fund and interest on the
bonds may be increased, but in no case to exceed a rate of one dollar
and twenty-five cents, on the one hundred dollars of assessed valua-
tion. But nothing herein contained shall be construed as permitting

by general statutes.
