3804. Bonds for public buildings.-35. Any incorporated town in this state, having begun or desiring to begin the erection of any public building to be used as a market-place, engine-house, school-house, or for any other public purpose, and not having the means necessary to complete such work may, by an ordinance passed by a two-thirds vote of all the trustees, at a special meeting called for that purpose, of which meeting notice shall be given for two weeks, by publication in a newspaper, if one be published in such town, and, if not, by posting in at least one public place in each ward, issue the bonds of the town to an amount not exceeding ten thousand dollars, to bear not to exceed six per cent. interest per annum, payable annually or semi-annually, and to be sold at not less than the par value. The proceeds of such sale shall be used exclusively for the erection and completion of such public work.

fund.-36.

3805. Borrowing money-Sinking fund. 36. No town shall have power to borrow money or incur any debt or liability, other than such as are authorized by this act, unless a majority of the resident owners of the taxable real estate of such town shall petition the board of trustees to contract such debt, or make such loan, stating the purpose and amount thereof. Such petition shall have attached thereto an affidavit verifying the genuineness of the signatures to the same. Upon being satisfied that the above provisions have been complied with the board shall have power to incur such debt. And for any obligation created in pursuance of such petition the trustees shall add to the tax levy of each year successively a sufficient amount to pay the annual interest on the debt or loan, and also a levy of not less than five cents on the hundred dollars to create a sinking fund for the liquidation of the principal thereof.

ASSESSMENT AND COLLECTION OF TAXES.

3806. Taxes-How fixed and collected.-37. The assessment of real and personal property in every town, as made and returned by the township and county assessors to the county auditor, and as modified and fixed by the county board of review and the state board of tax commissioners, with assessments of omitted property by county officers, as provided by law, shall constitute the assessment of such property for town purposes,

in like manner as for state, county and township taxes; and all general laws of the state for the uniform assessment and collection of taxes, and matters connected therewith or growing out of the same, shall apply to towns, so far as the same shall be applicable, unless otherwise expressly provided. The county auditor of each county, as soon as the final yearly assessment of the property of any town in such county has been returned to his office, shall immediately certify the total amount of such assessment to the town clerk, who shall lay the same before the board of trustees at its next meeting thereafter. Such board of trustees shall thereupon, by ordinance, fix the tax levy for the current year for all town purposes. A certified copy of such ordinance shall thereupon be by the clark of such town filed with the county auditor; and such auditor shall enter such taxes on the tax duplicate against all the property and polls subject to taxation within the corporate limits of such town. The treasurer of such county shall collect such municipal taxes upon such duplicate as other taxes thereon are collected, and pay the same over when collected to the treasurer of such town. Such town taxes may be paid in installments on or before the first Monday in May and the first Monday in November, in like manner as taxes for state, county and township purposes are payable, and shall become delinquent in like manner and be subject to the same penalties upon nonpayment as other taxes; and all provisions of law concerning the collection of state, county and township taxes by county officers, including tax sales, and redemption therefrom, and compensation of officers, shall apply to the collection of town taxes by county officers under the provisions of this section. No township assessor, county auditor, county treasurer or other county officer, or any deputy of any such officer, shall receive for their respective services in the assessment, levy, collection or disbursement of town taxes, or other revenues of any town, any fees or other compensation, save only the salaries and fees, if any. provided for them by law as such township or county officers. Where a town has been or may hereafter be incorporated more than one year prior to the time fixed by law for the assessment of real estate for the purposes of taxation, it shall be the duty of the assessor of the township, or assessors of the townships, in which such town is situated to assess all of the real estate in such town in the manner provided by law for the assessment of real estate at the regular times fixed by law for such assessment. Such assessment of real estate and the return thereof to the county auditor shall be made by the assessor at the time he makes assessment and return of personal property; and all the provisions of law for the assessment of real estate shall be observed in the making, reviewing and entry of such assessment and the collection of taxes levied thereon. To enable the assessor to make such assessment and return, the auditor of the county, or auditors of the counties, in which such town is situated shall, on or before the first day of March succeeding the incorporation of such town, upon written request of the board of trustees, make out and deliver to the proper township assessor a list of all the lands and lots within the corporate limits of such town, together with the names of the

owners of each separate tract, parcel or lot as shown by the records in the office of such auditor.

3807. Repeal of laws. 272. All former laws within the purview of this act except laws not inconsistent herewith and enacted at the present session of the general assembly, are hereby repealed; but this repeal shall not affect any right acquired, franchise granted, or contract entered into, under any such former law, nor shall it affect any pending litigation or proceedings thereunder, but the same shall be concluded and judgment rendered and enforced as if this act had never been passed.
