§ 2579. Payment of obligations. 1. If a city shall issue obligations

for any of the purposes enumerated in paragraph c of subdivision one of

section twenty-five hundred seventy-six of this chapter, the principal

and interest of such obligations shall be paid out of moneys raised by

tax therefor in the same manner as other school moneys are raised, when

such obligations and the interest thereon shall become due and payable.

obligations become due the municipal authorities of the city shall

include in the tax levy, and assess upon the property of the city, the

amount necessary to pay such bonds and interest thereon.

3. In a city having a population of one million or more, such city may

in its discretion annually cause to be raised such sums of money as may
