If any actions, suits, or proceedings are
pending against any one of the cities or towns at the time of the consolidation, the
consolidated city or town shall be substituted as plaintiff or defendant in such
action, suit, or proceeding. The same shall thenceforth proceed as if the claim,
right, debt, or demand upon which said action, suit, or proceeding was founded had
originally existed in favor of or against such consolidated town or city. In like
manner, any person who, at the date of consolidation, has any claim, demand, or
right of action against any one or more of the cities or towns so consolidating may
bring any action, suit, or proceeding necessary for the collection or enforcement
thereof after such consolidation against the consolidated city or town in the same
manner as though the claim, demand, or right of action had originally existed
against such consolidated city or town. In no case shall any tax be levied upon or
liability incurred by any property or persons on account of such actions, suits,
proceedings, debts, liabilities, or rights of action, except those persons and
property which would have been liable for the same in case no consolidation had
taken place. The governing body of the consolidated city or town has the power to
levy a special tax upon persons and property within the former limits of the city or
town against which such action, suit, proceeding, claim, demand, or right of action
existed for the payment, liquidation, or settlement thereof or of any judgment
founded thereon. The terms of consolidation may make other provisions for the
payment of such demands, liabilities, and judgments.
