Sec. The word “indebtedness,’’ used in this act, shall be deemed, held | and taken to include all and all man- ner of debt, as well floating as funded, of the said municipality.” It will be observed that public offi- cials violating the above law run the risk of heavy penalties, mein Never Beon Healthier, The Centre Hall Reporter has en- tered upon its Tlst year, It is not to be imagined because this paper is so advanced in years that it is old in ap- pearance, or shows any signs of an eqn- feebled condition.
