Whenever the board of county commissioners of any county in which there is located in the county seat of said county an abandoned United States post office building by resolution finds that said county is in need of additional space for use as county offices and that said abandoned post office building would provide the necessary additional space for county offices, said board of county commissioners may purchase said abandoned United States post office building and the site on which is it located and may remodel and equip the same for use as additional space for county offices: Provided, That the total amount expended for such purchase and the remodeling and equipping of said building shall not exceed the sum of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000).

Such bonds shall be issued, sold, delivered and retired in accordance with the provisions of the general bond law. If said county shall receive any payments from the federal government or any agency thereof for rent or as reimbursement for the cost of use of any space in said building, the amount so received from the federal government or any agency thereof shall be paid into the county treasury and the county treasurer shall credit the same to the bond and interest fund of said county and the same shall be applied to the payment of the principal and interest upon the bonds issued hereunder.
