Excerpt from The Statutes at Large of Pennsylvania From 1682 to 1801, Vol. 5: Compiled Under the Authority of the Act of May 19, 1887; 1744 to 1759 And whereas the time limited for the re-emission of the said bills is near expiring and the time appointed for their currency much shortened, so that the sums hereafter to be lent out (as the act now stands) must be paid in again in so small a time and such large proportions as must render the payments dith cult to be complied with, and may occasion the bills hereafter to be paid into the loan office to remain in the hands of the trus tees for want of borrowers; and, consequently, the funds which were intended to be raised by the interest of the money so to be lent out must not only fail, but also for want of the circulation of those bills, the merchants, farmers and tradesmen will again be involved in difficulties which the act aforesaid was intended to prevent.
