The mayor and board of aldermen shall have power, by ordinance, to issue bonds for the purpose of extinguishing or paying off any indebtedness against any such city of the fourth class; provided, such indebtedness has been contracted by and with the consent of the constitutionally required percentage of the voters voting in favor of the question and declared by any court of competent jurisdiction to be a legal and valid indebtedness, and which has or may hereafter become a judgment against such city. The aggregate amount of such judgment and existing indebtedness shall not exceed the constitutional limit of such city, and such bonds shall not bear any greater rate of interest than the rate per annum permitted by law, and shall not run for a longer time than twenty years.
