23        (310 ILCS 10/11) (from Ch. 67 1/2, par. 11)
24        Sec. 11. An Authority shall have  power  to  issue  bonds
25    from time to time in its discretion to finance in whole or in
26    part   the   cost  of  acquisition,  purchase,  construction,
27    reconstruction, improvement, alteration, extension or  repair

29    also have power to issue refunding bonds for the  purpose  of
30    paying   or  retiring  bonds  previously  issued  by  it.  An
31    Authority may issue such types of bonds as it  may  determine
32    by  resolution,  including  bonds  on which the principal and
33    interest are payable; (a) exclusively  from  the  income  and
 
                            -3-            LRB9208015ARpcam03
 1    revenues of the housing project financed with the proceeds of
 2    such   bonds   (including,  without  limitation,  income  and
 3    revenues derived from a loan  agreement  with  respect  to  a
 4    project  located  within the municipality having a population
 5    in excess of 1,000,000), or with such proceeds together  with

11    such  bonds;  or (c) from its revenues generally. Any of such
12    bonds may be additionally secured by a pledge of any revenues
13    of any housing project, projects or  other  property  of  the
14    Authority.
15        In  addition  to  powers  conferred by this Act and other
16    laws concerning housing authorities in general, an  Authority
17    for a municipality having a population in excess of 1,000,000
18    may  grant a specific pledge or assignment of, and lien on or
19    security  interest  in,  the  income  and  revenues  of   the

21    project  or  projects,  as well as in any reserves, funds, or
22    accounts established in the resolution authorizing the  bonds
23    or  the  indenture  or other instrument under which the bonds
24    are issued.  As evidence of such  pledge,  assignment,  lien,
25    and  security interest, the Authority may execute and deliver
26    a mortgage, trust agreement, indenture,  security  agreement,
27    or  an  assignment thereof. The provisions of this amendatory
28    Act of the 92nd General Assembly create additional powers for
29    housing  authorities  having  a  population  in   excess   of
30    1,000,000; these provisions do not limit the powers conferred
31    on housing authorities in general.

33    executing the bonds shall be liable personally on  the  bonds
34    by  reason  of  the  issuance  thereof.  The  bonds and other

 1    obligations of an Authority (and such bonds  and  obligations
 2    shall  so  state  on  their  face) shall not be a debt of any
 3    city, village, incorporated town, county, the  State  or  any
 4    political  subdivision thereof and neither the city, village,
 5    incorporated town  or  the  county,  nor  the  State  or  any
 6    political subdivision thereof shall be liable thereon, nor in
 7    any  event  shall such bonds or obligations be payable out of
 8    any funds or properties other than those of  said  Authority.
 9    The  bonds  shall  not  constitute an indebtedness within the
10    meaning of any constitutional or statutory debt limitation or
11    restriction.

13        (310 ILCS 10/17) (from Ch. 67 1/2, par. 17)
14        Sec. 17.  The following terms, wherever used or  referred
15    to  in this Act shall have the following respective meanings,

19    municipal  corporation  organized  in  accordance  with   the

26    town,  and  so  long  as  no  county  housing  authority  has
27    jurisdiction therein, the area within three miles  from  such
28    territorial  boundaries, except any part of such area located
29    within the territorial boundaries of any other city, village,
30    or incorporated town; and (2) in the case of a  county  shall
31    include  all  of  the  county  except  the  area of any city,

 9    contract with the county housing authority  with  respect  to
10    the  sale,  lease,  development  or  administration  of  such
11    project.  When an authority is created for a city, village or
12    incorporated  town  subsequent  to  the  creation of a county
13    housing  authority  which  previously  included  such   city,
14    village  or  incorporated  town within its area of operation,
15    such county housing authority shall have no power  to  create
16    any   additional   project   within   the  city,  village  or
17    incorporated town, but any  existing  project  in  the  city,
18    village  or incorporated town currently owned and operated by
19    the county housing authority shall remain in  the  ownership,

 3    a housing  authority,  and  all  buildings  and  improvements
 4    constructed,   reconstructed   or   repaired   by  a  housing
 5    authority, designed to  provide  housing  accommodations  and

12    clearance   commission  created  under  the  "Blighted  Areas
13    Redevelopment Act of 1947" having the same area of  operation
14    as   a   housing  authority  created  in  and  for  any  such
15    municipality such housing authority shall have  no  power  to
16    acquire  land  of  the  character  described  in subparagraph
17    (iii), (iv) or (v)  of  paragraph  1  of  the  definition  of
