except as above provided, and any violation of this provision
shall be a misdemeanor punishable under Section 21 of this
Act. All construction and operating records, including cost

empowered at any time to take over said system or part thereof,
or said water main, sewer, storm-water drain, water purifica-

carrying the same guaranty of payment of interest and prin-

construction, as provided under Sections 5 and 6 of this Act;
except that all bonds to be issued under this Section shall ma-
