Sec. 11-81-2.
The city council of any city and the board of trustees
of any village or incorporated town, whether organized under the general
law or special charter, which does not correspond to the description set
out in Section 11-81-1, may annually levy a tax for street and bridge
purposes at a rate of not to exceed .06% of the value, as equalized or
assessed by the Department of Revenue, and may by a
three-fourths vote of the members elected to such city council or board
of trustees levy an additional tax for street and bridge purposes at a
rate of not to exceed .04% of the value, as equalized or assessed by the
Department of Revenue, of taxable property within such

situated as a whole or in part within any road district in which a tax
for road and bridge purposes has also been levied under the authority of
Section 6-501 of the "Illinois Highway Code" as the same may from time
to time be amended, the county clerk shall as to the taxable property
lying within such city, village or incorporated town, reduce and abate
from such street and bridge tax levied by the authority of this Section
11-81-2 a rate equivalent to the amount of all road district road and
bridge taxes accruing to such city, village or incorporated town in
accordance with the provisions of Section 6-507 of the "Illinois Highway
Code" as the same may from time to time be amended.
Such street and bridge tax authorized by this Section 11-81-2 shall
be in addition to any tax any such city, village or incorporated town is
now authorized to levy for street or bridge purposes and shall be in
addition to the tax that such city, village or incorporated town is now
authorized to levy upon the aggregate valuation of all property within
such city, village or incorporated town, and shall be in addition to the
amount authorized to be levied for general purposes as provided by
Section 8-3-1.
