Such resolution shall prescribe all the details of the bonds and shall provide for the levy and collection of a direct annual tax upon all taxable property in the county sufficient to pay the principal of the bonds at maturity and the interest thereon as it falls due. Such tax is not subject to any statutory limitations relative to taxes that may be extended for county purposes.
