Section 1. That all elections heretofore held in any school district
of the State to provide for the issuance of bonds by any such district or
by any county for and on behalf of any such district, for the purpose
of erecting, building, rebuilding, adding to, equipping or otherwise im-
proving school buildings in any such district, be, and the same are hereby,
validated, ratified, approved and confirmed notwithstanding any defect or
irregularity in the calling or holding of such elections, or in the petitions
presented to the circuit court praying for the holding of such elections,
or in the proceedings in the circuit court, or in the form of the ballots
used at such elections, or in the circuit court’s orders ordering or con-
firming such elections and notwithstanding the failure to enter any of
such orders of the circuit court, and any bonds heretofore or hereafter
issued pursuant thereto, and pursuant to an election heretofore held,
provided a majority. of the qualified electors voting on the question voted
in favor of the issuance of the bonds, are hereby validated, ratified, ap-
proved and confirmed and are hereby declared to be the valid and binding
obligations of any such school district authorizing the issuance of such
bonds, and there is hereby authorized to be levied an ad valorem tax upon
all the taxable property in any such district in each year while such bonds,
or any of them, are outstanding and unpaid, without limitation of rate or.
amount, sufficient to pay the principal and interest of such bonds as the
same respectively become due, and any such bonds heretofore authorized
but unissued may be sold by the County School Board at either public
or private sale at not less than par and accrued interest, and no action of
any other board or body shall be required to authorize the sale and
delivery of such bonds, and such bonds may be delivered to the pur-
chaser thereof upon payment of the purchase price, prior to the approval,
by the Division Superintendent of Schools or the State Superintendent
of Schools, of the plans and specifications of the school buildings to be
erected, built, rebuilt, added to, equipped or otherwise improved with the
proceeds of the sale of such bonds.
