  • a. The debt
      statement of a municipality, school district in a city or fire  district
      shall  show  the total amount of indebtedness which may be contracted by
      such municipality, school district or fire district pursuant to  section
      104.00 of this chapter. In addition there shall be included:
        1.  A  statement  of  the  net  margin of debt-contracting power. Such
      margin shall be ascertained by  deducting  from  such  total  amount  of
      indebtedness  which  it  may contract pursuant to section 104.00 of this
      chapter the total net indebtedness of such municipality, school district
      or fire district.
        2. A statement of the percentage of the debt-contracting power of such
      municipality, school district or fire district which has been exhausted.
      Such percentage shall be obtained by dividing the total net indebtedness
      of such municipality, school district or  fire  district  by  the  total
      amount  of indebtedness which it may contract pursuant to section 104.00
      of this chapter.
        b. The debt statement of  a  school  district,  other  than  a  school
      district  in  a city, shall show the amount of bonded indebtedness which
      may be contracted by such school district. Such amount shall be shown as
      an amount equal to ten per centum of the  full  valuation  of  the  real
      property  subject  to taxation by the school district. In addition there
      shall be set forth the margin between the amount of bonded  indebtedness
      which  such  school district may contract and the bonded indebtedness of
      such school district as shown in such debt statement. The  term  "bonded
      indebtedness",  as  used  in  this paragraph, shall include indebtedness
      evidenced by bond anticipation notes.
