§ 759.15.
The director of public service shall turn over to the legislative authority of the
city property on hand under his control or held by him as a permanent fund, for cemetery
purposes, or such money as may thereafter come to him for such purposes, and shall
render a full statement thereof, by whom, when, and for what purpose paid. The legislative authority shall acknowledge receipt thereof to the director in writing
signed by its clerk. By resolution duly passed and entered on the minutes of its proceedings, the legislative
authority shall pledge the faith and credit of the city to forever hold such money
as a permanent fund, and pay to the director in semiannual payments as interest on
the funds, a sum sufficient to provide perpetual care of the lots as agreed by the
director. The legislative authority shall invest such funds and keep them invested in interest-bearing
debts of the city, and if no such debts are owed by the city, then in safe interest-bearing
bonds, or in interest-bearing certificates of deposit in financial institutions within
this state authorized by law to accept deposits and subject to inspection by either
the United States or this state. All such money and the income thereof shall be exempt from taxation, the same as
other cemetery property.
