Sec. 38. (a) To raise money to pay all bonds issued under section 35 of this chapter, including interest, the board shall levy each year a special tax upon all of the real and personal property located in the district to pay the principal of the bonds as they mature, together with all accruing interest. The board shall have the tax levied each year certified to the auditor of the county in which the district is located by October 1 each year.

The tax shall be used to pay the bonds and interest as they mature and may not be used for any other purpose.

     (c) All accumulations of the fund before use for the payment of bonds and interest shall be deposited, at interest, with one (1) of the depositories of other public funds of the city, with interest collected belonging to the fund.
