charges remain unpaid for sixty (60) days after becoming due, they
may be collected by an action of assumsit or by a bill in equity to
enforce such liens, and any judgment or decree obtained, where the
defendants have been served by subpoena, or in any other manner
provided by law, shall have the force and effect of a judgment in
personam; and the Commission may sue, or file a bill in equity to
enforce said liens against the owner of record at the time said
suit is filed or any owner of record between said dates, and publica-
tion thereon shall be notice to all persons having any interest in
said property.

886. (a) For the purpose of retiring the bonds authorized to be
issued by this sub-title and of paying the interest thereon, the Com-
mission shall cause to be levied, against all assessable property within
said sanitary districts for which said bonds have been issued, by
the governing body of the county in which said District is located
annually so long as any of said bonds are outstanding and not paid,
a tax sufficient to provide such sum as the Commission may deem
sufficient and necessary, in conjunction with any amounts as the
Commission may estimate that it will be able to collect out of the
benefit assessments therefor levied by it but not yet paid and any
further funds then available for the purpose, to meet the interest
on said bonds as it becomes due and to pay the principal thereof as
the bonds mature, and said tax shall be determined, levied, collected
and paid over in the manner following, that is to say, at least sixty
days before the tax levying period of each year, the governing body
shall certify to the Commission the whole valuation of the assessable
property within each sanitary district. The Commission shall then
determine in the manner above prescribed the amount which it
deems necessary to be raised during the ensuing year for the pay-
ment of interest and principal of all bonds maturing in said year,
and after deducting all amounts in hand or in contemplation ap-
plicable to payments of interest and principal on said bonds as here-
inbefore and hereinafter in this sub-title provided, it shall determine
the number of cents per $100.00 necessary to raise the said amount
for each such sanitary district and shall certify the same to the
governing body. The said governing body in their next annual levy
shall levy said tax on all land and improvements and all other prop-
erty assessed for county tax purposes within the respective sanitary
district, which tax shall be levied and collected and have the same
priority rights, bear the same interest and penalties and in every
respect be treated the same as county taxes. The tax so levied for
the ensuing year shall be collected by the respective tax collecting
authorities and every sixty days they shall remit the whole amount
of the tax so collected to the Commission. From the money so re-
ceived, together with the amount in hand to the credit of said bond
fund, the Commission shall first pay all interest and principal on
said bonds as the same become due, and shall then deposit the residue
of said moneys in some bank or banks in the County where said
district is located to the joint credit of the county and the Com-
mission. The Commission is authorized to pay the interest on any
bonds it may issue out of the proceeds of the sale of said bonds, but
not more than one year's interest may be so expended.

(b) In order that the prompt payment of interest and the proper
provision for the payment of the principal of said bonds shall be
assured, the prompt and proper performance of the respective acts
