The Municipality is hereby authorized to issue debentures, notes, special certificates or other evidences of indebtedness to the United States of America, or any agency or instrumentality thereof, the State, County, Municipality or other public body, or from any sources, public or private, in order to secure loans for or in aid of any of the purposes of this Act: Provided however, that any such debentures, notes, special certificates, or other evidences of indebtedness, issued to the United States of America, or any agency or instrumentality thereof, the State, County, Municipality or other public body, or from any sources, public or private, shall be payable solely out of proceeds from the sale of real property pursuant to Section 6 hereof, out of any revenue from the operation and management, or demolition, of existing housing or other buildings or improvements located on any real property acquired by the Municipality pursuant to this Act, out of such capital grants as the Municipality may receive from the United States of America, or any agency or instrumentality thereof, or out of any local grants-in-aid as defined in Section 110 of the Act of Congress approved July 15, 1949, being Public Law 171--81st Congress, known as the “Housing Act of 1949” as amended  1 which the Municipality or any other municipal corporation, commission, district, authority or other subdivision or public body of the State or any other entity may make in connection with the implementation of a conservation plan for a conservation area as defined herein.

Neither the members of the governing body or the Conservation Board nor any person executing such evidences of indebtedness shall be liable personally thereon by reason of the issuance thereof. Such evidences of indebtedness (and the same shall so state on their face) shall not be payable out of any funds or properties of a Municipality or a Conservation Board other than those enumerated in the first paragraph of this Section. Such obligations shall not constitute an indebtedness within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory debt limitation or restriction.
