Missouri Revised Statutes Title VII. Cities, Towns and Villages § 72.335. Bonded indebtedness, effect on--notice of indebtedness required in resolution and election notice

The bonded indebtedness of each municipality being absorbed at the time of the absorption which was incurred for the purpose of purchasing, constructing or repairing local improvements or facilities for the residents in the area of a municipality being absorbed shall continue to be the debt of the taxpayers in the area of the municipality being absorbed and a special tax sufficient to retire the indebtedness shall be levied against the property within the area of the municipality being absorbed, but the bonded indebtedness of any municipality involved in the absorption which was incurred for the purpose of purchasing, constructing or repairing improvements or facilities which are to be used generally by the entire area of the municipality which absorbs the others shall become the indebtedness of the entire area of the absorbing municipality and the area which it absorbed. The question as originally submitted by resolutions and the notice of the election shall list each separate bonded indebtedness of the municipalities involved and shall clearly indicate whether the tax necessary to retire it is to be levied generally or locally.
