before those taxes were collected, after payment of all warrants that may
have been issued in anticipation of these taxes, shall be placed in the
sinking fund account provided in this section. It shall be used to
purchase, call for payment, or to pay at maturity refunding bonds and
interest thereon as herein provided.
Money received from the proceeds of taxes levied for the payment of the
principal of and interest upon refunding bonds shall be deposited in a
special fund of the sanitary district. It shall be designated as the
"Refunding Bond and Interest Sinking Fund Account of ....." This fund shall
be faithfully applied to the purchase or payment of refunding bonds and the
interest thereon as provided in this Act.
If the money in this fund is not immediately necessary for the payment
of refunding bonds or if refunding bonds can not be purchased before

sanitary district, the money may be invested by the treasurer of the
sanitary district, in bonds or other interest bearing obligations of the
United States or in bonds of the State of Illinois.
The maturity date of the securities in which this money is invested
shall be prior to the due date of any issue of refunding bonds of the
investing sanitary district. The corporate authorities may sell these
securities whenever necessary to obtain cash to meet bond and interest
payments.
