| ||||||
| 7 | Sec. 6-602.
If a majority of all the ballots cast at such | ||||||
| 8 | election on such
proposition are in favor of such special tax, | ||||||
| 9 | then the township board of
trustees or highway board of | ||||||
| 10 | trustees,
as the case may be, or the
highway commissioner in a | ||||||
| 11 | county not under township organization of the
road district | ||||||
| 12 | shall levy an annual tax in accordance with such vote and
| ||||||
| 13 | certify the same to the county clerk. Such certification may | ||||||
| 14 | occur any time after the election. That board of trustees or

of this Code. The county clerk shall | ||||||
| 18 | cause such levy, thus certified to
him to be extended on the | ||||||
| 19 | tax books for the current year and for each
succeeding year as | ||||||
| 20 | other taxes are extended. The highway commissioner of
the road | ||||||
| 21 | district may
also receive donations in money, labor, materials | ||||||
| 22 | or other valuable
things to aid in such road construction.
| ||||||
| 23 | Such special tax levy shall remain in effect until repealed | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
