And I do hereby also further direct that any contribution hereby required to be made as aforesaid by the Martinborough Town Board shall be paid from time to time respectively out of the funds of the said Board, within a period of thirty days after demand in writing made by or on behalf of the Featherston County Council, and all such payments shall be made from time to time to the Clerk of the said County Council for and on behalf of of such Town Board.
