(70 ILCS 1005/12a) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 85.1)
Sec. 12a.
Any mosquito abatement district organized under the provisions of
this Act which lies wholly within a county having fewer than 1,000,000
inhabitants which levies a tax for mosquito abatement pursuant to Section
25.05-4 of "An Act in relation to counties", approved March 31, 1874, as
heretofore or hereafter amended, shall be dissolved and discontinued upon
the action by such county board which levies such tax.
The trustees of such mosquito abatement district shall immediately
proceed to wind up the affairs of such district and shall have the same
powers as before dissolution to levy taxes for the purpose of paying the
debts, obligations and liabilities of such mosquito abatement district
outstanding on the date of such dissolution and the necessary expenses of
closing up the affairs of such district. All property of such district
shall be sold and in case any excess remains after all liabilities of such
district are paid such excess shall be paid to the various common school
districts located in such mosquito abatement district ratably in the
proportion that the taxable value of all the property in each of the school
districts bears to the taxable value of all the property in the mosquito
abatement district.
