Section 14
SEC. 14. The legislative council shall have authority to order, in its discretion, the construction, repair, and maintenance of roads, bridges, ferries, and public buildings in any part of the province on the recommendation of the engineer whenever the funds for such construction, repair, or maintenance are in the provincial treasury; to approve or reject contracts for the construction, maintenance, and repair ordered in the previous paragraph; to agree with the provincial boards of adjoining provinces on the terms upon which roads forming the boundary between the two provinces and the bridges and ferries crossing the streams forming such boundary shall be maintained and controlled under the joint supervision of the governments of the provinces; to direct, in its discretion, the bringing or defense of suits on behalf of the provincial government and to compromise the same, upon the recommendation of the attorney and the approval of the judge of the Court of First Instance for the province; to authorize the provincial treasurer to deposit so much of the provincial funds as may not be needed in the near future for public use in a bank of deposit of approved standing in the Islands. All interest paid on such deposits shall inure to the benefit of the provincial treasury, and no funds shall be deposited in the bank by the treasurer until there shall be spread upon the minutes of the council a resolution reciting and approving the exact terms of contract and deposit in the bank and the bank shall certify the weekly balances of the provincial funds held by it to the governor of the province and to the Insular Treasurer. The legislative council is further authorized to enact laws modifying or amending the Municipal Code in its application to municipalities within the province, so far as conditions in the Moro provinces, differing from the conditions in the Christian Filipino provinces may require a modification; to provide for the printing, translating, and distribution, by proclamation of the provincial governor, of such laws as may be proclaimed and put in force in the manner hereinafter provided, and for the translation, printing, and distribution of such educational literature as may seem wise to the council. The legislative council is authorized to pass such other laws not inconsistent with this Act or the Acts of Congress relating to the Philippine Islands as may conduce to the welfare of the peoples of the Moro Province; but it shall not be within the power of the council to issue bonds of the province, or to authorize municipalities of the province to do so, except as provided in the Acts of Congress.
