This act makes it possible for the receiver general of the province to issue loans directly to the directors or commissioners of private companies, naming some of the companies who will be issued loans in this manner.
This act makes it possible to collect a revenue from the residents of the district of Gore, London, and the Western district if the receiver general should dispense a sum of money in order to pay the interest of a loan made to the Great Western Rail Road, which it may be unable to pay. If the company should repay the amount in question, the money will be used to improve the districts in question.
