A statement of the percentage of the debt-contracting power of such municipality, school district or fire district which has been exhausted.

The debt statement of a school district, other than a school district in a city, shall show the amount of bonded indebtedness which may be contracted by such school district. Such amount shall be shown as an amount equal to ten per centum of the full valuation of the real property subject to taxation by the school district.
