in that event, the County Commissioners shall make up
such deficiency by the levy and collection of ad valorem
taxes upon all property within the corporate limits of the
County subject to assessment for taxation at the full
County taxation rate, in rate and amount sufficient to
make up such deficiency. The County Commissioners may

County Commissioners may, if it so elects, sell said bonds

Board of County Commissioners shall provide. Said
Board of County Commissioners shall also provide for the
