The board of county commissioners in any county having a population of

hereby authorized to make an annual tax levy not to exceed one mill upon
all of the taxable tangible property of the county for the operation of
said home and to pay a portion of the principal and interest on bonds
issued under the authority of K.S.A. 12-1774, and amendments
thereto, by cities located in the county. Such tax levy shall be in

purpose. Any special election held under the provisions of this section
shall be called and held in accordance with the provisions of K.S.A. 10-120,

votes cast and counted on the
question submitted at such election are in favor of such tax, the same
may be levied; but if majority of the votes cast and counted on the
question submitted at such election are not in favor thereof, such tax
may not be levied.
