336. The State, or any County, legally constituted public water,
sewerage or sanitary district, or any municipality, upon which an order
of the State Board of Health is served, shall, through its proper official or
department, proceed to raise such funds as may be necessary to comply
with such order within the time specified. When approved by the Gov-
ernor and Attorney-General, any County, legally constituted public water,
sewerage or sanitary district, or municipality may raise such funds, or
any part of them, by issuing bonds, stocks or notes without prior legisla-
tive enactment; and the question of issuance of such bonds, stocks or notes
shall not be required to be submitted to a vote of the people. The money
made available by bonds, stocks or notes so issued shall constitute a sani-
tary fund, and shall be used for no other purpose than for carrying out
the order or orders of the State Board of Health. At no time shall the
total outstanding issue of such bonds, stocks or notes exceed two per cent,
of the total value of all property within the limits of such County, district
or municipality, as listed and assessed for taxation. The amount of bond,
stock or note issue as allowed by this section may be in addition to the
total indebtedness otherwise permitted by law. No public moneys shall
be expended by the State, any County, legally constituted public water,
sewerage or sanitary district for any of the purposes enumerated within
this sub-title, unless such expenditure and the amount thereof has been
approved by the State Board of Health. Said bonds, stocks or notes shall
be forever exempt from State, County or municipal taxation. They shall
be a lien upon all property within the jurisdiction issuing them.
