Mr. ABBOTT:

Perhaps I had better read the explanatory note:

Under the Municipal Improvements Assistance Act, 1938, authority was granted to make loans to municipalities to enable them to pay the whole or part of the cost of constructing or making extensions or improvements to or renewals of municipal water works systems, gas plants, electric light systems or other projects of a self-liquidating character. In some cases since a loan was made to a municipality it has become desirable to reorganize the municipality or to create a new municipality from part of the area previously included in the first municipality, for example, by reason of the growth of population to establish a village in the place of a local improvement district or in respect of part of the area previously included in a rural municipality. The purpose of the amendment is to permit the new municipal corporation to be substituted for the purpose of the loan for the former corporation in proper cases.

Motion agreed to and bill read the first time.
