37-7-126. Commissioners may borrow for unpaid construction or lawful debts; issuance of notes or bonds; interest specified.
The commissioners may borrow money, not exceeding the amount of "assessment for construction" as herein provided, unpaid at the time of borrowing for such purposes, or for the payment of any indebtedness that may have been lawfully incurred, and may secure the same by notes or bonds bearing interest at a rate not to exceed seven percent (7%) per annum and not running beyond one (1) year after the last installment of the assessment, on the account of which the money is borrowed, shall fall due, which said notes or bonds shall not be sold at less than ninety percent (90%) of their face value, which said bonds shall be transferable by delivery to the same extent as negotiable paper of the highest character; and may deliver notes or bonds to the United States to be held and when deemed desirable or when the appraised value of the land in the district is double the bonded indebtedness, sold by it, and the net proceeds received from the notes or bonds applied to the liquidation of contract indebtedness of the district, and said notes or bonds shall be in such form, terms and denominations as may be fixed by the court, but which notes or bonds shall not be held to make the commissioners personally liable, but shall constitute a lien upon the assessments for the repayment of the principal and interest of such notes or bonds. In case any moneys derived from bonds sold to pay for the construction, as herein provided, now or hereafter, remains on hand after such work is completed and paid for, and not raised for damages unpaid for, such residue may be used in the maintenance and repair, as in this chapter provided, before making assessment for such maintenance and repair.
