The board of education of any school district in a city of the fifth class, or of any school district which embraces territory, a portion of which is within and a portion of which is without such city of the fifth class, may, when in their judgment it is advisable, and must when requested by the board of trustees of such city, call an election and submit to the electors of the district whether the bonds of such district shall be issued and sold for the purpose of raising money to purchase school lots, and for building or purchasing or repairing one or more schoolhouses, and supplying the same with furniture, necessary apparatus, and improving the grounds, and for liquidating any indebtedness already incurred for such purposes.

Election, how called.

§ 2. Such election must be called by posting notices, signed by the board of education, in three of the most public places in the district, for not less than twenty days before the election, and by publishing such notices in some newspaper published in such city, not less than once a week for three successive weeks.

3. The hours during the day, not less than six hours, in which the polls will be open.

General election law to govern.

§ 4. Such election shall be held, in all respects as nearly as practicable, in conformity with the general election law; provided, that no particular form of ballot shall be required, excepting that the words to appear on the ballots, which shall be "Bonds-Yes," or "Bonds-No"; nor shall any informalities, not amounting to fraud in conducting such election, invalidate the same.

Canvass of returns.

§ 5. On the seventh day after said election, at 1 o'clock P. M., the returns having been made to the board of education, the board must meet and canvass said returns, and if it appears that two-thirds of the votes cast at said election were in favor of issuing such bonds, then the board shall cause an entry of that fact to be made upon its minutes, and shall certify to the board of supervisors of the county in which said distriet is located, the proceedings had in the premises; and thereupon said board of supervisors shall be and they are hereby authorized and directed to issue the bonds of such district to the number and amount provided in such proceedings, payable out of the bond fund of such district (naming the same), and that the money shall be raised by taxation upon the taxable property in said district for the redemption of said bonds, and the payment of the interest thereon; provided, that the total amount of bonds so issued shall not exceed five per cent of the taxable property of the district, as shown by the last equalized assessment of the property in such school district.

Form of bonds.

§ 6. The board of supervisors, by an order entered upon its minutes, shall prescribe the form of said bonds, and of the interest coupons attached thereto, and must fix the time when the whole or any part of the principal of said bonds shall be payable, which shall not be more than forty years from the date thereof.

How sold; interest rate.

§ 7. Said bonds must be payable in gold coin of the United States, must be signed by the president of the board of supervisors, and countersigned by the clerk of the county, who must affix the county seal thereto; must not bear a greater rate of interest than eight per cent, said interest to be payable semi-annually in like gold coin; and said bonds must be sold in the manner prescribed by the board of supervisors, but for not less than par, in gold coin of the United States, and the proceeds of the sale thereof must be deposited in the county treas ury to the credit of the building fund of said school district, and be drawn out for the purpose aforesaid, as other school moneys are drawn out.

Tax levy.

§ 8. The county board of supervisors shall annually, at the time of levying taxes for county purposes, levy a tax upon the taxable property within such district, sufficient to pay the annual interest on such bonds and to pay the principal in equal annual installments; but the order Gen. Laws-76

directing the issue of bonds may prescribe that the payment of the principal may be deferred for not more than five years. All moneys so collected shall be paid into the county treasury and used for the payment of interest and principal of such bonds, and for no other purpose. The county auditor shall issue his warrant for the payment of interest and installments, and cancel all coupons and bonds redeemed and file them with the county treasurer. The provisions of this section shall, so far as applicable, govern any bonds that may have been heretofore issued by such school districts.

Guarantee to bond-holder.

If payment of any coupon or bond lawfully issued by any such school district should, after presentation and demand of payment at the office of the county treasurer, be refused, the owner may file such bond, together with all unpaid interest coupons, with the state controller, taking his receipt therefor, and the same shall be registered in the state controller's office; and the state board of equalization shall, at their next session, and at each annual equalization thereafter, add to the state tax to [be] levied in said district a sufficient rate to raise the amount of principal and interest past due prior to the next levy, and the same shall be levied and collected as a part of the state tax, and paid into the state treasury, and passed to the special credit of such district bond tax, and shall be paid by warrants, as the payments mature, to the holder [of] such registered obligations, as shown by the register in the office of the state controller, until the same shall be fully satisfied and discharged; any balance then remaining shall be transmitted to the treasurer of the county in which is situated the district by which such bonds were issued, and shall be placed by the county treasurer to the credit of the general school fund of said district.
