25420. Pursuant to this article, the board of supervisors may acquire and convey lands to the United States for use for any military purposes authorized by any law of the United States, including permanent mobilization, training, and supply stations. 25421. Whenever the Secretary of War agrees on behalf of the United States to establish in any county a permanent mobilization, training, and supply station for any military purposes authorized by any law of the United States, on condition that land aggregating approximately a designated number of acres at such location or locations within the county as he from time to time selects or approves be conveyed to the United States with the consent of the State in consideration of the benefits to be derived by the county from the use of the lands by the United States for such purpose, the board may determine that it is desirable and for the general welfare and benefit of the people of the county and for the interest of the county to incur an indebtedness in an amount sufficient to acquire land in the county for such purposes. 25422. For this purpose any county may, by and through its board of supervisors, incur an indebtedness evidenced by negotiable bonds of the county. 25423. Bonds shall not be issued pursuant to this article in an amount which, together with all existing bonded indebtedness of the county, exceeds 5 percent of the taxable property of the county, as shown by the last equalized assessment roll, exclusive of the taxable value of the land proposed to be acquired and conveyed to the United States. 25424. The board shall by order specify: (a) The purpose for which the indebtedness is to be incurred, which shall in general be for acquiring land in the county aggregating approximately the number of acres designated in the agreement by the Secretary of War to be conveyed to the United States in consideration of the benefits to be derived by the county from the use of the land by the United States as a permanent mobilization, training, and supply station. (b) The amount of bonds proposed to be issued. (c) The rate of interest the bonds will bear. (d) The number of years, not exceeding 40, that the whole or any part of the bonds are to run. 25425. The order shall also provide for submitting the question of the issuance of the bonds to the qualified electors of the county at the next general election, or at a special election to be called by the board for that purpose. 25426. There shall be printed on the ballot "Bonds--Yes" and "Bonds--No," or words of similar import, together with a statement of the amount to be issued and a statement that the purpose is to acquire and convey the amount of land set out in the order of the board to the United States in consideration of the benefits to be derived by the county from the use of the lands by the United States as a permanent mobilization, training, and supply station. 25427. If the question is submitted at a special election, notice shall be given and the question submitted as provided in Article 1, Chapter 6, Division 3, this title. 25428. If two-thirds of the qualified electors of the county voting thereon vote in favor of issuing the bonds, the board shall proceed to issue the amount of bonds specified. 25429. In issuing and selling the bonds the board shall follow the procedure provided in Article 1, Chapter 6, Division 3, this title as to other bonds of the county. The bonds shall be in the form and denominations, and specify the rate of interest as provided in that article and conform to its provisions in all respects. 25430. Payment of the principal and interest of the bonds shall be provided for by tax levy in the same manner as Article 1, Chapter 6, Division 3, this title provides for the payment of the principal and interest of other bonds issued by any county. Except as modified by this article, that article is applicable to all bonds issued pursuant to this article. 25431. Any county may exercise the right of eminent domain to acquire any property necessary or convenient for carrying out the provisions of this article. 25432. Pursuant to the Constitution and laws of the United States, and especially to paragraph 17 of Section 8 of Article 1 of such Constitution, the consent of the Legislature is given to the United States to acquire, upon the conditions and for the purposes set forth in this article, from any county acting under this article, title to all lands referred to in this article. 25433. The title shall be evidenced by a deed or deeds of the county, signed by the chairman of its board of supervisors and attested by the clerk of the county under seal, and the consent of the State is given to the exercise by Congress of exclusive legislation in all cases over any tracts or parcels of land conveyed to it pursuant to this article. The board may insert in every conveyance made pursuant to this article such conditions subsequent as it deems necessary to insure the use of the land by the United States for the purposes mentioned in and to carry out the provisions of this article.
