For the purpose of financing such reimbursement, said board of commissioners is hereby authorized to levy an annual tax of not to exceed two mills on all the taxable tangible property of the district during the period of said reimbursement contract, if the levy of such tax has been approved by the electors of the district in the manner provided in K.S.A. 19-2881b, and amendments thereto.
