20 shall state the general purpose or purposes for which they
21 are to be issued, and the corporate authorities may at any
22 time thereafter pass supplemental appropriations ordinances
23 appropriating the proceeds from the sale of such obligations
24 for such purposes.
25 The corporate authorities may issue bonds, notes or other
26 evidences of indebtedness in an amount necessary to provide
27 funds to refund outstanding obligations issued pursuant to
28 this Section, including interest accrued or to accrue
