Agreement between the Cantons of Zurich and Thurgau concerning the border localities of Zurich-Wilen and Thurgau-Wilen

1. Regarding ecclesiastical affairs, Zurich's Wilen remains incorporated into the parish of Neunforn as before; however, in matters of social welfare, the former locality is separated from the welfare community of Neunforn and allocated to the welfare association of the political municipality of Oberstammheim.

2. In the event that deficits for the parish of Neunforn need to be covered through taxes, the amount is to be apportioned to the remaining part of the parish of Neunforn and Zurich's Wilen according to the population count and paid by each part according to the relevant statutory regulations. The tax quota due from Zurich's Wilen will be one fourteenth of the total tax.

1. If an amicable agreement cannot be reached between the parties involved and the competent cantonal authorities regarding the allocation of the share of Wilen attributable to Zurich from the joint civil community property of Wilen and the Neunforn poor relief fund, the Federal Court shall decide on the matter.

1. The agreement shall remain in force for six years, i.e., from January 1, 1887, to January 1, 1893. If no termination is issued by either of the contracting parties six months before the expiration of this period, the agreement shall be assumed to be tacitly extended until termination occurs, in which case its validity shall expire six months from the date of such termination.

1. The ratification by the Zurich Cantonal Council and the Thurgau Grand Council is reserved for this agreement.
