§11-9-3. Pledges of special sanitary tax for payment of principal and interest.

The county commission of the county issuing any such warrants or certificates of indebtedness shall have the power to pledge and to use or cause to be used for the payment of the principal of and interest on such warrants and certificates of indebtedness so much as may be necessary for such purpose of the proceeds from the special sanitary tax levied by said county.

If more than one such pledge shall be made with respect to the proceeds from the special sanitary tax, then such pledges shall take precedence in the order in which they are made unless the proceedings making any such pledge shall expressly provide that such pledge shall be on a parity with or subordinate to a subsequent pledge of the special sanitary tax.

Any such warrants or certificates of indebtedness for which such pledge may be made shall constitute preferred claims against the proceeds of the special sanitary tax so pledged and shall have preference over claims against said proceeds for the maintenance, repair and operation of sanitary facilities and all other claims against said proceeds.
