Such bonds and the interest thereon shall be paid by a general tax levied upon all the taxable property in the county and none of the restrictions or limitations relating to the amount of the county's indebtedness contained in any of the laws of the state of Kansas shall apply to or in any way affect the issuance of the bonds authorized by this act or any bonds so issued.
