In every instance in which any county, city, town, township, the board of education of any city, or any school district shall issue bonds under Sections 391 et seq. of this title, it shall be the imperative duty of the proper officers to provide annually, at the time of providing for the levy of other taxes, for a tax sufficient in amount to pay the interest upon said bonds or the coupons as they become due, and to create a sinking fund, as provided for in this article,¹ for the payment of the principal of such bonds; and if such officers fail or neglect to provide for such levy, it shall be the duty of the county clerk forthwith to do so; and in case any such officer shall neglect or refuse to levy any such tax at the time aforesaid, and in case any county clerk shall neglect or refuse to extend such tax upon the tax roll of the county at the proper time, then and in that case any such officer so neglecting or refusing to levy or extend such tax shall be severally and individually liable and shall also be liable upon his official bond to the holder of any such bond or coupon falling due during the year for which such tax should have been levied or extended for the full amount thereof as soon as the same is due, which liability may be enforced in a civil action in the name of such holder; and any such officer so neglecting or refusing to levy or extend such tax shall also be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction thereof shall be fined in an amount equal to the amount which it may be shown should have been so levied or extended during such year, or imprisoned in the county jail for a term not less than three (3) nor more than twelve (12) months.
