terest falling due before the next tax levy, out of any other funds at
their disposal, and to include in the next levy the amount necessary
to reimburse such other funds.

event of a vacancy of the Commission by death, resignation, or other-
wise, such vacancy shall be filled by the Board or Boards, and in
the manner, by which the member of the Board whose vacancy is
being filled was originally selected.
