First-The time and place of holding such election.

Second-The hours during the day in which the polls will be opened, which hours shall be the same as at general elections.

Third-The amount of the bonds, the rate of interest, and the number

There shall be placed upon one line of the printed ballots for such election the words "For the bonds" [and upon the following line the words "Against the bonds"] The method of indicating choice thereof shall be the usual method prescribed in this state.

Commissioners to Issue Bonds-Interest Limit Six Per Cent.

SEC. 3. If upon the official determination of the result of such election it shall appear that a majority of all the votes cast are "For the bonds" the board of county commissioners, as soon as practicable thereafter, shall issue the negotiable coupon bonds of the county in such form and denomination as the county board of education may direct, but not in conflict with the election notice thereof, said bonds to run for a period not to exceed twenty (20) years from the date of issue and to bear interest at a rate not exceeding six (6) per cent per annum, payable semiannually, both principal and interest payable at such place as the board of county commissioners may direct, said bonds not to be sold at less than their par value.

After such registry the bonds shall be sold for the purpose of raising funds for the objects designated in this act. Special Tax for Interest on Bonds and for Sinking Fund for Redemption.

SEC. 6. Whenever a county shall issue any bonds under the provisions of this act, it shall be the duty of the board of county commissioners to annually levy and assess a special tax on all the taxable property of such county including the net proceeds of mines in an amount sufficient to pay the interest accruing thereon promptly when and as the same become due, according to the tenor and effect of said bonds, and the county treasurer shall collect the same as other taxes are collected, in cash only,

keeping the same separate from other funds received by him, and shall cause said interest to always be promptly paid at the place of payment specified in the bonds; if there be any surplus after paying said interest, the treasurer shall without delay pass the same to the credit of the county high-school fund, and such money so passed to the credit of said fund, shall be subject to the disposal of the county board of education and in the tenth year after the year in which the bonds are issued or in the fifth year after the issue of said bonds provided the board of county commissioners so determine, and annually thereafter until the full payment of such bonds has been made, the board of county commissioners shall levy and assess a special tax, and shall cause such special tax to be collected on all the taxable property of the county including the net proceeds of mines, sufficient to raise annually a proportion of the principal of said bonds equal to a sum produced by taking the whole amount of said bonds outstanding and dividing it by the number of years said bonds then have to run, which amount shall be levied, and assessed and collected by the county treasurer in the same manner as the tax for the payment of the interest coupons, and when collected shall be known as the "County High-School Bond Sinking Fund" and shall be used only for the payment of said bonds which said county treasurer shall cause to be paid at the place of payment specified in such bond. The sinking fund thus created may be applied to the purchase and cancelation of the outstanding bonds provided for in this act. At the maturity of such bonds the county treasurer shall call in and pay them with the interest accrued thereon, and shall duly cancel each bond, and certify his action to the board of county commissioners and the county board of education. In the event the funds to pay interest are not collected in time to permit the payment of the interest on said bonds when the same shall become due, the county treasurer shall pay the amount due out of the general county fund and then reimburse said fund for the amount so borrowed from it when said interest funds are collected.

Property Not Released from Taxation by Change in Boundary Lines.

SEC. 8. No change in the boundary lines of any county shall release the taxable real property of the county from assessment and levy of the taxes to pay the interest and principal of such bonds, and if there shall be any change in the boundary of such county so as to leave out any portion of the taxable real property of the county which was subject to

taxation in the county at the time of the issue of such bonds, the assessment and levy of taxes for the payment of the principal and interest of such bonds shall be made on such property as if it were still within the county, and if there shall be any change in the boundary lines of such county so as to annex or include any taxable or real property, after the issue of such bonds, the real property so included or annexed shall thereafter be subject to the assessment and levy of a tax for the payment of the principal and interest of such bonds.

All taxes levied and assessed as in this act provided shall constitute a lien on the property charged therewith, from the date of the levy thereof by the county commissioners, or the entry thereof on the assessment roll of the county auditor, until the same are paid, and thereafter, if allowed to become delinquent, shall be enforced in the same manner as is now provided by law for the collection of state and county taxes.
