§ 8. Application of revenues of a public improvement or part thereof,
or service. For the purpose of determining the amount of taxes which may
be raised on real estate pursuant to section ten of article eight of the
constitution the revenues received in each fiscal year by any county,
city or village from that portion of a public improvement or part
thereof, or service, owned or rendered by such municipal corporation for
which bonds or capital notes are issued after January first, nineteen
hundred fifty, shall be applied first to the payment of all costs of
operation, maintenance and repairs thereof incurred during such fiscal
year, and then to the payment of the amounts required in such fiscal
year to pay the interest on and the amortization of, or payment of, such
indebtedness contracted for such public improvement or part thereof, or
service, or such revenues may be deposited in a special fund to be used
solely for such payments. The provisions of this section shall not
prohibit the use of excess revenues for any lawful county, city or
village purpose. The provisions of this section shall not apply to a
public improvement or part thereof constructed to provide for the supply
of water or to a joint sewage or drainage project described in section
