80-808. Carnegie libraries; warrants for repair and reconstruction. The township board of any township which maintains and operates a township library which is known as a Carnegie library is hereby authorized and empowered to issue no-fund warrants in an amount not exceeding $4,000 for the purpose of providing funds for the repair and reconstruction of the Carnegie library building of such township. Whenever any township board shall issue warrants under the provisions of this section, such board shall make a tax levy at the first tax levying period after such warrants are issued sufficient to pay the same and the interest thereon. If the township board deems it advisable not to make all of such levy in any one year, then such township board may make an annual tax levy at not more than the next three tax levying periods occurring after the issuance of such warrants, the total of which levies shall be sufficient to pay such warrants and the interest thereon. The warrants shall be issued, registered, redeemed and bear interest in the manner and be in the form prescribed by K.S.A. 79-2940, and amendments thereto, except that such warrants shall not bear the notation required by K.S.A. 79-2940, and amendments thereto, and may be issued without the approval of the state board of tax appeals, and any surplus existing after the issuance of such warrants shall be handled in the manner prescribed by K.S.A. 79-2940, and amendments thereto. Such township board is hereby authorized and empowered to expend all moneys raised by no-fund warrants issued under the provisions of this section although such expenditures were not included in the budget for the year in which such warrants were issued.
