Alton Town Trustees Authorize Revenue Bonds for Public Works
The Alton town trustees gain authority to borrow up to two hundred thousand dollars secured by tax revenues and other town funds to improve roads and fund public services. They must maintain roads within one mile of town boundaries and enforce labor on roads with penalties and pension for nonpayment. They also set up funding for paupers, licensing of vendors, elections by ballot, and establish common schools with local taxes for buildings and operations. The act takes effect upon acceptance by a town vote before December 1837.
