(b) Each such note shall be a limited or special obligation of the issuing municipality or county, payable as to both principal and interest solely from the same revenues out of which such revenue bonds are proposed to be issued or from the proceeds from the sale of such revenue bonds or from both said revenues and said bond proceeds, shall be made payable not later than 24 months after its date, shall be signed as the governing body of said municipality or county may prescribe, may be sold at public or private sale and may be renewed from time to time; provided, that no such renewal shall be made which shall extend the final date for payment of such note to more than three years from the date of the original borrowing.
(c) When any such municipality or county shall issue the revenue bonds in anticipation of which any note or notes were issued under this section, such municipality or county shall retire, out of the proceeds derived from the sale of the said revenue bonds, the said note or notes and, to the extent that such proceeds shall be sufficient therefor, the unpaid interest accrued thereon; provided, that any such municipality or county may, when any such note or notes are held by the United States of America or any agency or instrumentality thereof, without regard to or compliance with the provisions of Section 11-81-11, as amended, issue and deliver such revenue bonds (or a part thereof) in exchange for an equal principal amount of such note or notes and shall, prior to or simultaneously with such issuance and delivery, pay the unpaid interest accrued on such note or notes, which shall thereupon be cancelled and retired.
(d) In issuing any such temporary notes, no municipality or county shall be subject to any requirement, condition or limitation contained in any other law.
