SEC. 7. Relations between the City of Bacolod and the Provincial Government of Occidental Negros.—For election purposes, the City of Bacolod shall continue as part of the Second Assembly District of the Province of Occidental Negros. The voters of said City of Bacolod shall take part in the election of the provincial officers of Occidental Negros, but the latter have no jurisdiction over the City of Bacolod and the officers of the same, except as provided in section fourteen hereof. In consideration of the privileges and exemptions enjoyed by the provincial government within the city and of the responsibilities imposed on the same by the continuance of the city as capital of the province, the provincial board of Occidental Negros shall be obliged to create a permanent continuing annual appropriation of not less than fifty thousand pesos to be credited to the general funds of the city. The Auditor General shall see to the enforcement of this provision of law and shall transfer to the City of Bacolod at the beginning of each year, from any funds in the provincial treasury of Occidental Negros not otherwise appropriated, the sum of fifty thousand pesos, unless the provincial government shall have previously voted a greater sum.
