| board
shall cause the amount to be raised by taxation in each | 5 |
| year to be
certified to the county clerk on or before the | 6 |
| thirtieth day of March;
provided, however, that if during the | 7 |

adopt a supplemental levy | 9 |
| and shall make such certification to the
County Clerk on or | 10 |
| before the thirtieth day of December.

might be imposed on such sanitary district | 14 |
| under the Workers'
Compensation Act or the Workers' | 15 |

| be accumulated
in such reserve fund shall not exceed .05% of | 2 |
| such assessed valuation.
| 3 |
| All taxes so levied and certified shall be collected and | 4 |
| enforced in
the same manner and by the same officers as State | 5 |
| and county taxes, and
shall be paid over by the officer | 6 |
| collecting the same to the treasurer
of the sanitary district, | 7 |
| in the manner and at the time provided by the
general revenue | 8 |
| law. No part of the taxes hereby authorized shall be
used by | 9 |
| such sanitary district for the construction of permanent, | 10 |
| fixed,
immovable bridges across any channel constructed under | 11 |
| the provisions of
this Act. All bridges built across such | 12 |
| channel shall not necessarily
interfere with or obstruct the | 13 |
| navigation of such channel, when the same
becomes a navigable | 14 |
| stream, as provided in Section 24 of this Act, but
such bridges | 15 |
| shall be so constructed that they can be raised, swung or
moved | 16 |
| out of the way of vessels, tugs, boats or other water craft
| 17 |
| navigating such channel. Nothing in this Act shall be so | 18 |
| construed as to
compel said district to maintain or operate | 19 |
| said bridges, as movable
bridges, for a period of 9 years from | 20 |
| and after the time when the water
has been turned into said | 21 |
| channel pursuant to law, unless the needs of
general navigation | 22 |
| of the Des Plaines and Illinois Rivers, when
connected by said | 23 |
| channel, sooner require it. In levying taxes the board
of | 24 |
| commissioners, in order to produce the net amount required by | 25 |
| the
levies for payment of bonds and interest thereon, shall | 26 |
| include an
amount or rate estimated to be sufficient to cover |
