its power to issue bonds for any purpose. Neither shall the
issuance of said bonds by the city constitute the incurring of indebtedness
or the creation of indebtedness as contemplated in
the provisions of Sections 5 and 7 of Article 11 of the Constitution
of Texas. The special improvement bonds when issued
shall contain provisions stating definitely that said bonds are
directly secured by a first and paramount lien on the pledged or
impounded certificates and the income thereof; that said certificates
exist in an amount and yield interest at rates determined
by the city to be sufficient and ample to meet the principal
and interest of the bonds as they accrue and mature; that
the city pledges all of its charter and Statutory powers to the
collection of such certificates which form the basis for the issuance
of the bonds, and that it pledges its full faith and credit
to exercise its charter powers and all lawful means to the end
that the bonds and interest thereon will be paid according to
their tenor and effect.

pledged or impounded fund an amount sufficient to make good
the deficit, said deposit to be made out of any money then under
control of the city, which may lawfully be used at that time for
said purpose; and
(b) In event such city does not in such eventuality have
money on hand or under its control available for said purpose,
it shall then be the duty of such city at the time of the occurrence

reimbursed to the extent of any such moneys which it may have
been compelled to advance under the provisions of this Section.
