or service. For the purpose of determining the amount of taxes which may

be raised on real estate pursuant to section ten of article eight of the

city or village from that portion of a public improvement or part

thereof, or service, owned or rendered by such municipal corporation for

which bonds or capital notes are issued after January first, nineteen

hundred fifty, shall be applied first to the payment of all costs of

operation, maintenance and repairs thereof incurred during such fiscal

year, and then to the payment of the amounts required in such fiscal

year to pay the interest on and the amortization of, or payment of, such

indebtedness contracted for such public improvement or part thereof, or
