379. After April 16, 1914, the State, a County, municipality, district,
corporation, company, institution, or person shall not install a system of
water supply, sewerage or refuse disposal, for public use, nor materially
alter or extend any such existing system, without having received a written
permit from the State Board of Health so to do; nor shall any permit for
this purpose be issued until complete plans and specifications for the instal-
lation, alteration or extension, together with such information as the State
Board of Health may require, have been submitted and approved by the
Board. All construction shall take place in accordance with the approved
plans. In case it shall become necessary or desirable to make material
changes in plans or specifications, such changed plans or specifications,
together with a statement of the reasons for the alterations, shall be sub-
mitted to the State Board of Health, and no material changes shall be em-
bodied in the actual construction until they are approved by the Board and
a permit issued therefor. After completion of the work a certified copy of
the plans in full, showing the work as built, shall be filed with the State
Board of Health for permanent record. The State Board of Health shall
be empowered to make and enforce such rules and regulations regarding the
submission of plans for approval and record as it may deem reasonable and
proper. Before plans are drawn, or application filed, for a prospective
system of water supply, sewerage or refuse disposal, a preliminary state-
ment concerning the improvement may be made to the State Board of
Health, whereupon the State Board of Health shall, if requested, outline
the general requirements of the case conformity with which would meet
with the Board's approval. Whenever application shall be made to the State
Board of Health for a permit under the provisions of this Section, it shall
be the duty of the Board to examine the application without delay, and, as
soon as possible thereafter, to issue said permit, disapprove the application,
or state the conditions under which said permit will be granted.

380. 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 Governor
and Attorney-General, any County, legally constituted public water, sewer-
age or sanitary district, or municipality may raise such funds, or any part
of them, by issuing bonds, stocks or notes without prior legislative enact-
ment ; 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 constitue a sanitary 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
