<br />y~, by an Act of the General Assembly of Virginia at its 1946 session, Chapter
<br />175 thereot, the Board of Supervisors ot Chesterfield County, Virginia was vested
<br />ith the power and authority to construct, reconstruct, maintain, alter, improve, ad
<br />to and operate water supply systems in the said County of Chesterfield, and in con-
<br />ection therewith to contraot for a loan or loans and to issue bonds of said County
<br />on the credit ot, the County and/or bonds of the said County, the payment of which
<br />the net revenue from the sale of water from any such water supply system or systems
<br />shall be obligated and appropriated and for which the credit of any such County shal
<br />not be Obligated, to an amount in the aggregate of not exceeding eighteen per centum
<br />of the assessed value of all real estate in said County subject to local taxation,
<br />and
<br />VHEREAS, it appears from said legislative Act that this Board can issue bonds known

<br />ebt contraoted in any suoh loan, and where the requirement for the repayment of sai
<br />loan is that the net revenue from the sale of water from any such water system or
<br />systems will be set aside for suoh purpose, and that the credit of the County cannot
<br />be obligated tor such purpose, and
<br />HEREAS, it appears neoessary that water systems be constructed and operated in said
<br />County and in order to speedily do so it is necessary to contract for a loan tor tha
<br />purpose.

<br />Board that water systems be constructed, acquired, reconstructed, improved, maint-
