      corporation, in aid of railroads, shall annually report to the governing
      board  of  the  municipal corporation, the total amount of the municipal
      indebtedness of the municipal  corporation  they  represent,  upon  such
      bonds  or such new bonds substituted therefor, the date of the bonds and
      when payable, the rate of interest thereon, the acts  under  which  they
      were  issued,  the amount of principal and interest that will become due
