DixoN, C. J.

It appears that there was a statute, not cited in the court below, authorizing the council of the borough of Fort Howard to levy a tax of five mills on the dollar valuation, for the purpose of repairing and improving streets, instead of one mill on the dollar valuation, as prescribed by the act of incorporation. Laws of 1861, ch. 76; Pr. Laws of 1856, ch. 535, § 27.
