 one hundred thousand dollars each, the first series to become due 

 and payable in the year nineteen hundred, and each succeeding 

 series to become due and payable at yearly intervals thereafter, 

 and there shall be inserted in the tax budget of said county, for 

 the several years for which said bonds are made payable, a suffi-

 of said county, and shall be paid out from time to time for the 

 purpose herein provided, upon vouchers certified by the officer 

 at the head of said Department of Parks, and the attorney and

 provided in this act ; and such County Treasurer shall thereupon 

 immediately, and in the year eighteen hundred and ninety-five, 

 make, issue and sell bonds as herein provided, and raise and pro- 

 vide the money stated in such estimate and statement ; and the 

 money so raised shall remain in the treasury of said county for 

 the purposes of this act, until drawn and expended as herein pro-

 such officer at the head of such Department of Parks is unable 

 to agree with the owner thereof as to the price to be paid there- 

 of, or if for any other reason a purchase cannot be presently 

 and promptly made. Such officer at the head of such depart-
