          the ensuing calendar year.
          (b)If the commission does not approve the proposed budget within
          10 days after receipt thereof, it shall return the budget to the board. Upon
          receipt of the returned budget, the board shall consider amendments or
          modifications and may consult with the commission concerning the
          budget. Within 10 days after receipt of the returned budget, the board

          part of the regular county budget. The board of county commissioners
          shall make an appropriation and certify to the county clerk the amount
          of tax necessary to be levied on all tangible taxable property of the county
          sufficient to provide a program of county extension work and to pay a
          portion of the principal and interest on bonds issued under the authority
          of K.S.A. 12-1774, and amendments thereto, by cities located in the
          county, which levy shall not exceed the limitation prescribed by K.S.A.
          79-1947, and amendments thereto.
          Sec.6.K.S.A. 2-1318 is hereby amended to read as follows: 2-1318.
          The county weed supervisor of each county is hereby directed and it shall
          be the duty of the county weed supervisor to ascertain each year the
          approximate amount of land and highways infested with each kind of
          noxious weeds and its location in the county, and transmit such infor-
          mation tabulated by cities and townships not later than June 1 of each
          year, to the secretary of the state board of agriculture, board of county
          commissioners, and to the governing body of each city and township in
          the district pertaining to such noxious weed infestation in their respective
          jurisdiction. On the basis of such information the tax levying body of each
          county, township or incorporated city shall make a tax levy each year for
          the purpose of paying their part of the cost of control and eradication
          thereof as provided in this act and, in the case of cities and counties, to
          pay a portion of the principal and interest on bonds issued under the

5
          authority of K.S.A. 12-1774, and amendments thereto, by cities located
          in the county. Each county, city, and township, separately, shall make a
          levy each year in addition to all other levies now authorized by law, in
          such amount as is deemed to be necessary but not to exceed the limitation
          prescribed by K.S.A. 79-1947, 79-1948, 79-1949, 79-1950, 79-1951, 79-
          1952, 79-1953 and 79-1962 and amendments thereto, in any one year for
          such purpose. Any city may budget expenditures for weed control within
          its general operating fund in lieu of levying a special tax therefor or main-
          taining a separate noxious weed eradication fund. Moneys collected from
          such levy, except for an amount to pay a portion of the principal and
          interest on bonds issued under the authority of K.S.A. 12-1774, and
          amendments thereto, by cities located in the county, shall be set apart as
          a noxious weed eradication fund and warrants duly verified by the county
          or city supervisor if such be employed or if no supervisor be employed,
          then by county, township or city clerk, as the case may be, may be drawn
          against this fund for all items of expense incident to control of noxious
          weeds in such district respectively. Any moneys remaining in the noxious
          weed eradication fund at the end of any year for which a levy is made
          under this section may be transferred to the noxious weed capital outlay
          fund for making of capital expenditures incident to the control of noxious
          weeds. If moneys collected from such levy in the preceding year were
          insufficient to purchase chemicals or chemical materials needed for the
          purposes authorized in K.S.A. 2-1319 or 2-1322, and amendments
          thereto, the tax levying body may levy an additional tax of not to exceed
          the limitation prescribed by K.S.A. 79-1947, 79-1948, 79-1949, 79-1950,
          79-1951, 79-1952, 79-1953 and 79-1962 and amendments thereto, but
          the moneys collected from such levy shall not be used for any purpose
          other than the purchase of such chemicals or chemical materials.
          Any tax levy authorized under the provisions of this section shall be in
          addition to all other tax levies authorized by law.
          Sec.7.K.S.A. 2-2007 is hereby amended to read as follows: 2-2007.
          Each board of county commissioners is authorized to create a "soil-drift-
          ing fund". They are authorized and empowered to make soil drifting fund
          and levy a tax against all taxable tangible property of the county at a rate
          not to exceed the limitation prescribed by K.S.A. 79-1947, to be collected
          as other taxes, and when collected to be credited to the "soil-drifting
          fund" to pay for the cost of work done, or hired to be done, by the board
          of county commissioners and to pay a portion of the principal and interest
          on bonds issued under the authority of K.S.A. 12-1774, and amendments
          thereto, by cities located in the county. To pay persons employed by them
          to do such work ordered to be done on any property the county shall
          issue its warrants upon the "soil-drifting fund," and such warrants shall
          be paid from that fund. This shall be regarded as a special purpose for

6
          incurring obligations and issuing and paying warrants and is not controlled
          by any general statute relating thereto.
          Sec.8.K.S.A. 2-1319 is hereby amended to read as follows: 2-1319.
          (a) The cost of controlling and eradicating noxious weeds on all lands or
          highways owned or supervised by a state agency, department or commis-
          sion shall be paid by the state agency, department or commission super-
          vising such lands or highways from funds appropriated to its use; on
          county lands and county roads, on township lands and township roads, on
          city lands, streets and alleys by the county, township or city in which such
          lands, roads, streets and alleys are located, and from funds made available
          for that purpose; on drainage districts, irrigation districts, cemetery as-
          sociations and other political subdivisions of the state, the costs shall be
          paid from their respective funds made available for the purpose. If the
          governing body of any political subdivision owning or supervising lands
          infested with noxious weeds within their jurisdiction fails to control such
          noxious weeds after 15 days' notice directing any such body to do so, the
          board of county commissioners shall proceed to have proper control and
          eradication methods used upon such lands, and shall notify the governing
          body of the political subdivision by certified mail of the costs of such
          operations, with a demand for payment. The governing body of the po-
          litical subdivision shall pay such costs from its noxious weed fund, or if
          no such fund is available, from its general fund or from any other funds
          available for such purpose. Copy of the statement, together with proof of
          notification, shall at the same time be filed with the county clerk, and if
          the amount is not paid within 30 days, such clerk shall spread the amount
          upon the tax roll of the subdivision, and such amount shall become a lien
          against the entire territory located within the particular political subdi-
          vision, and shall be collected as other taxes are collected.
          (b)All moneys collected pursuant to this section shall be paid into
          the county noxious weed eradication fund. Tax levies made pursuant to
          this section shall be in addition to all other levies authorized by law, and
          shall be in addition to any aggregate tax levy limits prescribed by law.
          (c)As used in this section, "governing body" means the board, body,
          or persons in which the powers of a political subdivision as a body cor-
          porate are vested; and "political subdivision" means any agency or unit
          of the state authorized to levy taxes or empowered to cause taxes to be
          levied.
          (d)On all other lands the owner thereof shall pay the cost of control
          and eradication of noxious weeds. Except as provided in K.S.A. 2-1333
          and amendments thereto, chemical materials for use on privately owned
          lands may be purchased from the board of county commissioners at a
          price fixed by the board of county commissioners which shall be in an
          amount equal to not less than 50% nor more than 75% of the total cost

7
          incurred by the county in purchasing, storing and handling such chemical
          materials. However, once the tax levying body of a county, city or town-
          ship has authorized the maximum a tax levy prescribed by K.S.A. 2-1318,
          and amendments thereto of 1.5 mills or more, the board of county com-
          missioners may collect from the owner of privately owned lands an
          amount equal to 75% but not more than 100% of the total cost incurred
          by the county in purchasing, storing and handling of chemical materials
          used in the control and eradication of noxious weeds on such privately
          owned lands. Whenever official methods of eradication, adopted by the
          state board of agriculture, are not followed in applying the chemical ma-
          terials so purchased, the board of county commissioners may collect the
          remaining portion of the total cost thereof.
          Sec.9.K.S.A. 2-1322 is hereby amended to read as follows: 2-1322.
          (a) The board of county commissioners, or the governing body of incor-
          porated cities, cooperating with the secretary of the state board of agri-
          culture, shall purchase or provide for needed and necessary equipment
          and necessary chemical material for the control and eradication of noxious
          weeds. The board of county commissioners of any county or the governing
          body of any city may use any equipment or materials purchased as pro-
          vided for in this section, upon the highways, streets and alleys, for the
          treatment and eradication of weeds which have not been declared noxious
          by legislative action.
          (b)Except as provided in K.S.A. 2-1333 and amendments thereto, the
          board of county commissioners shall sell chemical material to the land-
          owners in their jurisdiction at a price fixed by the board of county com-
          missioners which shall be in an amount equal to not less than 50% nor
          more than 75% of the total cost incurred by the county in purchasing,
          storing and handling such chemical materials used in the control and
          eradication of noxious weeds, and may make such charge for the use of
          machines or other equipment and operators as may be deemed by them
          sufficient to cover the actual cost of operation. However, once the tax
          levying body of a county, city or township has authorized the maximum
          a tax levy prescribed by K.S.A. 2-1318, and amendments thereto of 1.5
          mills or more, the board of county commissioners may collect from the
          landowners in their jurisdiction an amount equal to 75% but not more
          than 100% of the total cost incurred by the county in purchasing, storing
          and handling of chemical materials used in the control and eradication of
          noxious weeds.
          (c)Whenever official methods of eradication adopted by the state
          board of agriculture are not used in applying the chemical material pur-
          chased, the board of county commissioners may collect the remaining
          portion of the total cost thereof from the landowner.
          (d)The board of county commissioners, township boards, and the

8
          governing body of cities shall keep a record showing purchases of material
          and equipment for control and eradication of noxious weeds. The board
          of county commissioners and the governing body of cities shall also keep
          a complete itemized record showing sales for cash or charge sales of
          material and shall maintain a record of charges and receipts for use of
          equipment owned by each county or city on public and private land. Such
          records shall be open to inspection by citizens of Kansas at all times.
          Sec.10.K.S.A. 3-121 is hereby amended to read as follows: 3-121.
          Municipalities operating airports jointly may pay the expenses of pur-
          chasing or acquiring such airports from the general funds of such munic-
          ipalities or may issue general obligation bonds, as authorized by law, but
          no such bonds shall be issued for the purchase or acquisition of airports
          as provided hereunder, by any municipality unless and until the question
          of issuing same shall have been submitted to the qualified electors of said
          such municipality at any regular or special election and a majority of those
          voting on the proposition in said such municipality shall have voted in
          favor of the issuance of said bonds. In addition, any such governing body
          may issue general obligation bonds of the county or city in an amount not
          to exceed fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) $50,000 annually without an
          election, for the purpose of providing improvements on runways of any
          such airport. Any governing body proposing to issue such bonds shall
          publish a resolution to that effect in a newspaper of general circulation
          within the city or county, as applicable. Such resolution shall be published
          once each week for three consecutive weeks. If, within sixty (60) 60 days
          following the final such publication, a petition signed by not less than five
          percent (5%) 5% of the qualified electors of such city or county, as ap-
          plicable, is presented to the county election officer, no such bonds shall
          be issued until approved by a majority of the qualified electors voting
          thereon at the next county or city general election following the presen-
          tation of the petition.
          In lieu of issuing such bonds for the purchase or acquisition of an
          airport, the governing body of the municipality may levy an annual tax of
          not to exceed one mill on the dollar on all the taxable tangible property
          in such municipality for not to exceed three years for the purpose of
          creating a special fund to be used to pay the expenses of purchasing or
          acquiring such airports or flying fields and to pay a portion of the principal
          and interest on bonds issued under the authority of K.S.A. 12-1774, and
          amendments thereto, by cities located in the county. Any such governing
          bodies are hereby further authorized to levy an annual tax not to exceed
          the limitation prescribed by K.S.A. 79-1947, 79-1948, 79-1949, 79-1950,
          79-1951, 79-1952 and 79-1953, and amendments thereto, per year, for
          the support, maintenance and operation of such airports and to pay a
          portion of the principal and interest on bonds issued under the authority

9
          of K.S.A. 12-1774, and amendments thereto, by cities located in the
          county. Such support, maintenance and operation expenses shall be borne
          in the proportion agreed upon by the municipalities in case such airports
          are not leased.
          New Sec.11.(a) Except as provided in (b), (c) or (d), the maximum
          authorized levy for library purposes in accordance with K.S.A. 12-1220
          and 12-1230, and amendments thereto, shall be the following:
          Counties:

          a tax not exceeding the limitation prescribed by K.S.A. 79-1962, and
          amendments thereto, upon all taxable tangible property within such town-
          ship, for the purpose of paying the expense of providing rescue service
          and equipping, operating and maintaining such fire department or con-
          tracting with another fire department for the furnishing of rescue service
          or fire protection. Such tax levy shall be in addition to all other tax levies
          authorized or limited by law. In any county having a population of more
          than 150,000 and less than 250,000 the township levy herein authorized
          shall not exceed the limitation prescribed therefor by K.S.A. 79-1962, and
          amendments thereto, on all taxable tangible property of the township, for
          the purposes specified in this section. The tax levy shall be in addition to
          all other tax levies authorized or limited by law.
          Sec.43.K.S.A. 80-1909 is hereby amended to read as follows: 80-
          1909. In any township where a township fire department has been created
          under the provisions of this act, the township board shall have authority,
          subject to an election as hereinafter provided, to issue bonds for the
          purpose of purchasing land, constructing or purchasing buildings to be
          used as fire stations, constructing or purchasing fire equipment and sup-
          plies and for the payment of other necessary expenses incident thereto.
          Before any such bonds are issued, the question of their issuance shall be
          submitted to the voters of such township at a general or special election
          to be called by the township board by resolution and to be held under
          the provisions of article 1, chapter 10 of the Kansas Statutes Annotated,
          and the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at such election
          shall be sufficient to authorize the issuance of such bonds.
          The township board may also submit, at such election, the question

26
          whether the tax levy provided in K.S.A. 80-1903 hereof, and amendments
          thereto, shall be in excess of the aggregate tax limitations provided for
          townships by K.S.A. 79-1962 and any other limitations provided by law
          two mills, or four mills for townships in counties having a population of
          more than 150,000 and less than 250,000, and if a majority of the votes
          cast at such election shall be in the affirmative, the township board shall
          thereafter be authorized to make such levy without regard to such limi-
          tations. The expense of any special election called under the provisions
          hereof may be paid out of the proceeds of the bond issue, if such bonds
          shall be authorized at such election, otherwise from the general fund of
          the township: Provided, however, That. Only a single election board shall
          serve in any precinct at any such special election.

          1916. Any such township may create a township fire department to fur-
          nish fire protection within such township and such fire department shall
          be operated under the direction of the township board and said such
          board shall have power to levy an annual tax not to exceed the limitation
          prescribed by K.S.A. 79-1962, on all the taxable tangible property in such
          township, for the purpose of paying the expenses of equipping, operating
          and maintaining such fire department. Said tax levy shall be in addition
          to all other tax levies authorized or limited by law and shall not be subject
          to the aggregate tax levy limit prescribed by K.S.A. 79-1962, or acts amen-
          datory thereof.
          Sec.45.K.S.A. 80-1920 is hereby amended to read as follows: 80-
          1920. Subject to the provisions of K.S.A. 1986 Supp. 19-270, and amend-
          ments thereto, and upon the presentation of such petition, the township
          board of any such township shall create a township fire department. Such
          township board is hereby authorized and empowered to purchase fire-
          fighting equipment for the use of the fire department and to provide
          buildings for the housing and storage of the same. For the purpose of
          raising funds to pay the cost of such equipment and housing facilities, the
          township board is hereby empowered to issue no-fund warrants in an
          amount not exceeding $12,000. After the issuance of such no-fund war-
          rants, the township board shall make a tax levy at the first tax-levying
          period after such warrants are issued, sufficient to pay such warrants and
          the interest thereon. In lieu of making only one tax levy, such board, if it
          deems it advisable, may make a tax levy each year for not to exceed five
          years in approximately equal installments for the purpose of paying the
          warrants and the interest thereon.
          All such tax levies shall be in addition to all other levies authorized or
          limited by law and shall not be subject to the aggregate tax levy limitation
          prescribed by K.S.A. 79-1962, and amendments thereto. Such warrants
          shall be issued, registered, redeemed and bear interest in the manner and

27
          be in the form prescribed by K.S.A. 79-2940, and amendments thereto,
          except they shall not bear the notation required therein and may be issued
          without the approval of the board of tax appeals. Any surplus existing
          after the redemption of the warrants shall be handled in the manner
          prescribed by K.S.A. 79-2940, and amendments thereto. None of the
          provisions of the cash-basis and budget laws of this state shall apply to
          any expenditures made, the payment of which has been provided for by
          the issuance of such no-fund warrants.
          Sec.46.K.S.A. 80-1921 is hereby amended to read as follows: 80-
          1921. The township board of any such township shall have full direction
          and control over the operation of such township fire department and shall
          provide for the organization of volunteer members of such department,
          to be compensated at a specified rate when attending fires, and may
          provide special clothing and equipment for such volunteers, and may
          insure such volunteers against accidental death and injury in the perform-
          ance of their duties, and may do all other things necessary or desirable
          to maintain and operate such department so as to furnish fire protection
          to the inhabitants of such township. Such township board may levy an
          annual tax of not to exceed the limitation prescribed by K.S.A. 79-1962,
          and amendments thereto, on all the taxable tangible property in such
          township for the purpose of paying the expenses of equipping, operating
          and maintaining such fire department. Any tax levy authorized by this
          section shall be in addition to all other tax levies authorized or limited by
          law and shall not be subject to the aggregate tax levy limit prescribed by
          K.S.A. 79-1962, and amendments thereto, and shall be in addition to the
          tax levy made to pay for no-fund warrants issued pursuant to K.S.A. 80-
          1920, and amendments thereto. Except as otherwise specifically provided
          in this act, the provisions of K.S.A. 80-1906 and 80-1907, and amend-
          ments thereto, shall apply to townships adopting the provisions of this
          act.
          In addition to the tax levy herein authorized, the township board of
          Kickapoo, Tonganoxie, Easton, Fairmount, Sherman and Delaware town-
          ships located in Leavenworth county may levy an annual tax of not to
          exceed two mills on all the taxable tangible property in such township for
          the purpose of purchasing additional equipment for such fire department.
          If a petition in opposition to the tax levy authorized herein, signed by not
          less than 5% of the qualified electors of such township is filed with the
          township board of such township, within 40 days after the effective date
          of this act, the tax levy shall not be made unless first approved as a ques-
          tion submitted at the next general election or at a special election called
          for the purpose of submitting the question. If such a petition is filed, the
          township board may cause to be placed on the ballot at the next general
          election the question of whether such tax shall be levied. If a majority of

28
          the votes cast and counted at such election are in favor of the resolution,
          such governing body may levy the tax authorized herein. Upon this act
          taking effect it shall be published once each week for two consecutive
          weeks in a newspaper having general circulation in the township.
          Sec.47.K.S.A. 80-1924 is hereby amended to read as follows: 80-
          1924. The governing body of the benefit district shall annually provide
          for the levying of a tax of not to exceed one-half (1 2 ) mill upon the taxable
          tangible property in such benefit district and within the township suffi-
          cient to pay the compensation agreed upon in the contract with the town-
          ship maintaining the fire department. Such tax levy shall be in addition
          to all other tax levies authorized or limited by law and shall not be subject
          to the aggregate tax levy limitation prescribed by K.S.A. 79-1962 or acts
          amendatory thereof or supplemental thereto.
          Sec.48.K.S.A. 80-2006 is hereby amended to read as follows: 80-
          2006. (a) Whenever authorized by an election as herein provided, the
          costs and expenses of constructing such main, intercepting and outfall
          sewers and appurtenances, with or without sewage-disposal plant, as
          above provided, together with the cost of acquiring land, engineering,
          appraisers, legal and other incidental expense, excepting only such part
          of the cost as may be borne by grant from the federal government, shall
          be assessed against the lots and pieces of ground contained within the
          sewage district, and shall be levied and collected as one tax, in addition
          to the other taxes and assessments, and shall be certified by the governing
          body of such sewage district to the county clerk, and be placed by him
          or her such clerk upon the tax roll for collection, subject to the same
          penalties, entitled to the same rebates, and collected in the same manner
          as other taxes: Provided, That. The governing body may, in its discretion,
          provide for the payment of the cost thereof by installments instead of
          levying the entire tax or special assessment for such cost at one time; and
          for such installments, they may issue bonds of the sewage district, which
          bonds may mature serially or otherwise during a period of not more than
          twenty-five 25 years from the date of issuance, and, except as herein
          provided, shall be subject to all of the provisions of article 1, chapter 10,
          of the Kansas Statutes Annotated. Any bonds issued for such purposes
          shall be in addition to and may exceed the limits of bonds for any other
          purposes as provided by law.
          (b)That If the county planning board and the board of county com-
          missioners of any county in which a township sewage district has been
          created pursuant to the act of which this section is amendatory, each shall
          declare by resolution that a main, intercepting, or outfall sewer system
          or systems of such district, the plans and specifications of which have
          been finally approved, as provided in K.S.A. 80-2004, and amendments
          thereto, to be of public utility and necessary for the growth and needs of

29
          said county and necessary for the protection of the public health, the
          bonds issued under the authority of subsection (a) of this section shall be,
          in addition to being obligations of the township sewage district, general
          obligations of the county. In case of default in the payment of such bonds
          or the interest thereon by the sewage district, the board of county com-
          missioners of the county in which such sewage district is located shall levy
          a tax on the tangible property in such county sufficient to pay such bonds
          and interest, which tax levy shall be in addition to all other tax levies
          authorized or limited by law and shall not be subject to or within the
          aggregate tax levy limit prescribed by K.S.A. 79-1947 or acts amendatory
          thereof or supplemental thereto.
          No statute limiting the amount of bonded indebtedness of any county
          shall apply to any bonds issued under the authority of this section and
          such bonds shall not be considered in applying any statute limiting
          bonded indebtedness.
          Sec.49.K.S.A. 80-2021 is hereby amended to read as follows: 80-
          2021. The governing body of such sewage district shall have authority to
          and shall levy an annual tax which shall not exceed ten mills upon the
          dollar of assessed valuation of all real property upon taxable tangible prop-
          erty within such sewage district, for the purpose of paying the expense
          of operation and maintenance of the sewage system within such district;
          and may use the proceeds of such tax for the maintenance of all sewers
          in such district, including lateral sewers, however constructed, for the
          operation of sewage disposal plant, and for the payment to any adjoining
          city or township, with which such sewage district may have contracted
          for the disposal of sewage, of the contract price therefor, and for all other
          expense incident to the operation and maintenance of such sewage
          system.
          Whenever a sewage district has made tax levies as authorized by this
          act and has accumulated a fund for the operation and maintenance of the
          sewage system and has contracted with an adjacent city or township for
          the disposal of sewage and other expenses incidental to the operation and
          maintenance of such sewage system and when such district has accu-
          mulated unexpended funds which are no longer necessary for the oper-
          ation and maintenance of such system, the governing board of the sewage
          district may transfer the whole or any portion of such accumulated and
          unexpended funds to the township road fund or the fire department fund
          or to the general fund of the township in which the sewage district was
          established. All levies of taxes authorized in this act shall be in addition
          to all other levies authorized or limited by law, and the provisions of
          K.S.A. 79-1962, and any other limitations provided for township tax levies,
          shall not be applicable thereto.
          Sec.50.K.S.A. 80-2201 is hereby amended to read as follows: 80-

30
          2201. The township board of any township, having a population of more
          than seven thousand five hundred (7,500) 7,500 and located in a county
          adjoining two cities either within or without the state each of which has
          a population in excess of one hundred twenty thousand (120,000) 120,000,
          if by resolution they deem the township board deems it necessary to pro-
          tect the public health and welfare of the inhabitants of such township,
          may acquire land by lease, purchase, or under the provisions of K.S.A.
          26-501 to 26-516, inclusive, and amendments thereto, by condemnation,
          within or without such township, to be used for the disposal of trash and
          garbage collected from the inhabitants of such township. For the purpose
          of acquiring such land and maintenance thereof, a tax levy in an amount
          not to exceed the limitation prescribed by K.S.A. 79-1962, on all taxable
          tangible property may be made for the first year, and thereafter a levy
          not to exceed the limitation prescribed therefor by K.S.A. 79-1962, on all
          taxable tangible property may be made annually, which said levies and
          each of them shall be in addition to and outside of any other limit or
          aggregate limit fixed by law for such township. The funds derived from
          such levies shall be placed in a fund known as the "garbage and trash
          fund" and be used only for the purpose of this act the garbage and trash
          fund.
          Sec.51.K.S.A. 80-2204 is hereby amended to read as follows: 80-
          2204. Whenever the township board of any township located in a county
          having a population of more than fifty-five thousand (55,000) 55,000 and
          less than one hundred thousand (100,000) 100,000 finds and determines
          by resolution that it is necessary to acquire a site or sites for the disposal
          of garbage, rubbish and trash within or without the township, it the town-
          ship board may acquire such site or sites by gift, purchase or condem-
          nation and may construct necessary facilities thereon and purchase nec-
          essary equipment for the disposal of such garbage, rubbish and trash. In
          the event the township board of any such township finds that it is nec-
          essary to acquire such site or sites by condemnation the governing body
          of the county shall proceed under the provisions of chapter 26 of the
          Kansas Statutes Annotated, and all acts amendatory thereof and supple-
          mental thereto, or in substitution thereof. Whenever any such township
          shall so condemn such a site or sites, such township shall acquire a fee
          simple title thereto.
          In order to pay for such site or sites and the construction of all necessary
          facilities and equipment to be used in the disposal of garbage, rubbish
          and trash, the township board of such township is authorized to issue
          general obligation bonds of the township in the manner provided by the
          general bond law. Whenever such a site has been acquired, the township
          board may pay the cost of the operation and maintenance of the same
          from the general fund of the township or it may levy a special tax therefor

31
          at a rate not to exceed the limitation prescribed by K.S.A. 79-1962, on all
          taxable tangible property of the township. Any two (2) or more of such
          townships may join in the acquisition of a site or sites for the disposal of
          garbage, rubbish and trash and the operation and maintenance of said
          such sites as heretofore provided in this section; and the township boards
          of such townships are hereby authorized and empowered to enter into
          agreements for such purposes.
          New Sec.52.Until the moneys levied for a specific purpose are fully
          expended, they shall be maintained in their respective separate levy fund.
          New Sec.53 52.In 1999, and in each year thereafter, all existing
          statutory fund mill levy rate and aggregate levy rate limitations on taxing
          subdivisions are hereby suspended. In 1999, and each year thereafter, the
          fund levy limits shall be increased by multiplying the dollar amount pro-
          duced by the levy limit for 1998 by the quotient determined by dividing
          the assessed tangible valuation amount of the current year by the assessed
          valuation amount for 1999.
