 (from Ch. 121, par. 6-514)Sec. 6-514.         Whenever any county has elected to abandon township  organization and the newly elected county board has created road districts  as provided by law, and any township therein which has boundaries that were  the same as the boundaries of a road district so created, has outstanding  bonds for road purposes, and which bonds, or any part thereof, are past due  and no funds are available to pay the same, then such county board may,  upon the petition of the highway commissioner and road district clerk of  such road district, omit the levy of taxes to pay such debts as  contemplated by Section 25-25 of the Township  Code, provided such highway  commissioner and road district clerk shall  proceed to authorize, issue and exchange, as contemplated by Sections 6-515  through 6-522 of this Article of this Code, refunding bonds for such  past due road bonds of the township.  When any such refunding bonds are  proposed to be issued, a plan therefor shall be submitted to the county  board and such refunding bonds shall not be issued unless such plan shall  have been approved by such board.If such refunding bonds shall not have been issued as contemplated by  such plan within one year subsequent to the date of presentation of the  plan to the board, then the county board shall cause taxes to be levied and  extended against all of the taxable property situated within the territory  which previously constituted such township in an amount sufficient to pay  principal of and interest on such past due bonds.  However, if the refunding  bonds are issued, then the county board shall not levy taxes to pay such  indebtedness, but the county clerk annually in manner and form provided by  law shall cause taxes to be extended, and same shall be collected in  amounts sufficient to pay such refunding bonds so issued by the highway  commissioner and road district clerk as herein contemplated.If such highway commissioner and road district clerk petition such board  for authority to issue refunding bonds to take up and retire any bonds  issued by such prior existing township which are not then due, such  officers shall have authority to issue such refunding bonds if the county  board shall find that it is for the best interests of such road district  that same be issued.  Such refunding bonds to take up and retire bonds not  then due shall be issued pursuant to procedure similar to that herein  provided for the issuance of refunding bonds to take up and retire past due  bonds.Nothing herein contained shall be construed to impair the obligation of  outstanding township road bonds.
