Such bonds may bear interest at the rate of not to exceed six per cent per annum payable at the time and place provided in the bond ordinance. The ordinance authorizing such refunding and/or funding bonds shall prescribe all details thereof and shall provide for the levy and collection of an annual tax upon all the taxable property within the Chicago Park District sufficient to pay the principal thereof and interest thereon as it matures which tax shall be in addition to and exclusive of the maximum of all other taxes authorized to be levied by said commissioners. A duly certified copy of the bond ordinance shall be filed in the office of the County Clerk of Cook County and shall constitute authority for the extension and collection of such bond and interest taxes as required by the constitution. Refunding and funding bonds shall be signed by the facsimile signature of the president with like effect as if signed with his genuine signature and shall be signed by such other officers of the Chicago Park District as may be designated in the bond ordinance. The validity of any refunding and funding bonds shall remain unimpaired although one or more of the officers executing same shall have ceased to be such officer or officers before delivery thereof.
