And whereas it will require the sum of one thousand seven hundred and seventy-three (1,773) 81-100 dollars or such other less sum as may be necessary to be raised annually by special rate for the payment of said debt, and interest in each year for the period of twenty-five years;

The sum of $25,000 shall be expended by the town of Estevan in and about the purposes aforesaid and for the purpose of raising the said sum of $25,000 five debentures of the said town of Estevan shall be issued, each debenture to be for the sum of five thousand (5,000) dollars and interest thereon at the rate of five per cent. as aforesaid, and each of such debentures shall contain a promise of the said town to pay the bearer thereof at the office of the secretary treasurer
