For any permanent improvement that may lawfully be made by the county authorities on the faith and credit of the county, the bonds of the county may be issued and sold to raise the money to pay for the improvement, or the bonds may be issued and negotiated to secure the payment of indebtedness incurred in making the permanent improvements.
