For any or all of the purposes mentioned in this subpart, any such city upon the recommendation of the park and recreation board may purchase on time or partly for cash with balance on time or deferred payments, or otherwise acquire any real property or interest in real property, within or without the limits of such city, securing the note or notes, claim or claims for deferred payments and interest thereon, with mortgages or deed of trust on the land purchased, or with or by means of an instrument in writing retaining title thereto in the vendor, or enter into any other contractual arrangement whereby provision is made that such note or notes, claim or claims, or other instruments for deferred payments and interest thereon, and all lawful charges, shall not be a charge or charges against the general credit of the city or be a general liability thereof, but that the liability shall only extend to and be a charge against the land so purchased or acquired. Such method of acquisition provided for in this section shall not be considered or deemed exclusive, but cumulative and in addition to all other methods of acquisition of lands or interests therein for public purposes heretofore, hereafter, or by other provisions in this subpart provided.
