AN ACT to repeal the 7th section of an act entitled "An Act to define the duties and authority of the commissioners of the town of Washington, Wilkes county," passed 7th December, 1821, together with so much of the 5th section thereof as relates to the town limits; and to extend the said limits, and the duties and authority of the commissioners imposed and conferred to be exercised therein, to the corporate limits mentioned in said act; and to make the phrases "corporate limits" and "town limits," wherever occurring in said act, of equivalent import.

Whereas, the above recited act restricts the town limits within the corporate limits, and confers power on the commissioners therein named to impose more onerous taxes on the citizens residing within the town limits than those residing without these, and within the corporate limits, which is believed to be unjust, since those enjoying in common the benefits of a municipal regulation should bear and contribute equally for its maintenance and support; for remedy whereof

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Georgia in General Assembly met, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same, That from and after the passing of this act, the 7th section of an act entitled An Act to define the duties and authority of the commission

ers of the town of Washington, Wilkes county, passed 7th December, 1821, be, and the same is hereby repealed.

And be it further enacted, That so much of the 5th section of said act as relates to the town limits be, and the same is hereby repealed: and that the town limits mentioned and defined in said act be, and they are hereby declared to be extended and enlarged to the corporate limits specified in said act.

SEC. 3. And be it further enacted, That all the authority and duties required of and vested in the commissioners of said town to be exercised and discharged within the town limits, as heretofore laid off by said act, shall henceforth be construed to extend to, and be discharged within, the present enlarged limits of said town as defined in this act.

SEC. 4. Be it further enacted, That whenever in the residue of said act the phrases "corporate limits" and "town limits" shall occur, they shall be held and taken to be of identical and equivalent import.

SEC. 5. Be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That all acts and parts of acts militating against this act be, and the same are hereby repealed.
