60.


 No measure concerning the economical affairs of the municipality can be
effected by the Governor, nor any disbursement be made from the Colonial Treasury,
without the sanction of the Colonial Council, either by grants in consequence of the
yearly budget or by an extra-grant, unless the measure or the disbursement is
warranted by Laws, Ordinances, Royal Resolutions or other existing rules that must be
considered binding until they are repealed by the Legislature, or unless circumstances
render it necessary that such a measure be effected before the vote of the Colonial
Council can be obtained. In this last mentioned case, the matter must be laid before
the Colonial Council at its next ordinary, or at an extraordinary meeting, in order to
obtain the necessary extra-grant.
 61.

 In accordance with 60 none of the properties and invested funds belonging to
 the capital stock of the municipality can be disposed of, nor any loan be raised, without
 the consent of the Colonial Council, but in matters of more than general importance,
 for instance relating to the disposal, (either by sale, exchange, gift or agreement), or to
 the mortgage of any property belonging to the municipality, or to the lease of any such
 for a longer term than once fixed or in any other manner than by public auction, or to
 the raising of loans of larger amounts or for a longer period than can be repaid from
 the annual revenues, or to the renewal or prolongation of terms of payment of such
 loans, or to the purchase of immovable property, or agreements by which the
 municipality takes over certain obligations or renounces certain rights, the sanction of
 the Governor, or, according to circumstances, that of the Minister, must also be
 obtained to render such resolution valid.
 62.

 Should any of the Colonial Councils refuse to vote an expense, which in
 consideration of its duty towards the State or towards the municipality it ought to have
 granted for the proper discharge of the Administration according to existing Laws,
 Ordinances and other Rules, the Governor may protest against such a resolution, and
 if the Colonial Council does not then alter its resolution, the Governor may through the
 Minister lay the matter before the King. Until a decision is given by Royal Resolution,
 the customary rules or the provisions in the preceding budget are to be observed.
 63.

 Until otherwise prescribed by ordinance, the Colonial Councils shall appoint
 such members of the School Commissions, the Hospitals Commissions, the
 Quarantine Commissions, and other commissions on municipal affairs, as before the
 Colonial Law of 27 November 1863 were appointed by the Burgher Councils. In case
 of the dissolution of a Council the seats in the commissions here mentioned that have
 been filled by members of the Council are temporarily to be filled by other citizens to
