14-560.Repairing or resurfacing certain streets; bonds; election. Whenever the governing body of any city of the second class shall deem it necessary to resurface or repair any paved street or any portion thereof, which paved street was occupied by a street railway and along which said street railway has abandoned its rails; and the surface of said paved street by reason of the abandonment by said railway company is in a condition which requires repairing or resurfacing in order to preserve the same and to provide a reasonably smooth surface, the same may be ordered by resolution and shall be done at the expense of the city and the payment of the cost of such resurfacing or repairing may be made by the issuance of general obligation bonds of the city.

Such bonds shall be made payable at such time as the governing body shall provide by ordinance; but none of such bonds shall be issued for a period of more than ten (10) years nor bear interest at a rate exceeding the maximum rate of interest prescribed by K.S.A. 10-1009: Provided, That no bonds be issued under the provisions of this act unless and until the question of the issuance of the same has been submitted to a vote of the electors of such city at a regular city election or at a special election called for that purpose and a majority of those voting on the question shall have declared by their votes to be in favor of the issuance of the bonds. Said election may be called by the governing body of the city at any time when they deem such action advisable. All bonds issued under this section shall be issued, registered, sold, delivered and retired in accordance with the provisions of the general bond law except as herein otherwise expressly provided.
