Sec. 22a.
The Board of Trustees may provide by ordinance for the
levy, in addition to the taxes now authorized by law, and in addition to
the amount authorized to be levied for corporate purposes, as provided
by Section 12 of this Act, of a direct annual tax not exceeding .05 per
cent of the value, as equalized or assessed by the Department of Revenue
of the State of Illinois, of all taxable property in
such sanitary district. The fund arising therefrom shall be known as a
public benefit fund and shall be used solely for the purpose of paying
that portion of the several amounts assessed against the district for
public benefit as well as paying any such amounts as may be assessed for
public benefit under any ordinance that may be adopted by the Board of
Trustees.
The foregoing limitation upon tax rate may be increased or decreased
according to the referendum provisions of the General Revenue Law of
Illinois.
