erty of the junior college district as shown by the last equalized assessment of the county in which such district is located. Order of supervisors prescribing form of bonds.. The board of supervisors, by an order entered upon its minutes, shall prescribe the form of said bonds and of the interest coupons attached thereto, if any, and must fix the time when the whole or any part of the principal of said bonds shall be payable, which shall not be more than forty years from the date thereof. If the notice calling the election shall have provided that the bonds and the interest thereon shall be payable in gold coin of the United States, the bonds shall be made payable in such gold coin, as to principal and interest. If the notice calling the election shall have provided that the bonds and the interest thereon shall be payable in lawful money of the United States, the bonds shall be made payable in lawful money of the United States as to principal and interest. If the notice shall have made no such specific provisions, the board of supervisors shall have power in the order prescribing the form of the bonds either to make the bonds payable in gold coin of the United States as to principal and interest, or to make them payable in lawful money of the United States as to principal and interest. Place of payment. Said board of supervisors may make the principal and interest of said bonds payable at the office of the treasurer of the county, or at such other place within the United States as the board may designate, or at such treasurer's office or such other designated place, at the option of the bondholder; which place of payment shall be specified in the bonds; and this provision shall apply to all such bonds not yet issued when this section takes effect, regardless of the time when the election therefor was held. The expense of paying such principal and interest elsewhere than at the office of the treasurer shall be a charge against the junior college district funds, to be paid out of the tax for the payment of the bonds. Such bonds must be sold at the times and in the amounts prescribed by the board of supervisors, but for not less than par, and the proceeds of the sale thereof must be deposited in the county treasury to the credit of the building fund of the said junior college district, and be drawn out for the purposes aforesaid as other junior college moneys are drawn out. Sale of bonds. Award to highest bidder. Before selling said bonds, or any part thereof, the board of supervisors must advertise for bids therefor for at least two weeks in some daily or weekly newspaper of general circulation published in the county, or if there is no such newspaper published in the county, in some such newspaper published in some other county in the state. If satisfactory bids are received, the bonds offered for sale must be awarded to the highest bidder. If no bids are received, or the board determines that the bids received are not satisfactory as to price or responsibility of the bidders, the board may reject all bids received, if any, and either readvertise or sell said bonds at private sale. § 3. Levy of tax for interest and redemption. In case of district in two or more counties. The board of supervisors of the county whose superintendent of schools has jurisdiction over any junior college district must annually, at the time of making the levy of taxes for county purposes, levy a tax for that year upon the taxable property in such junior college district for the interest and redemption of all outstanding bonds of such district, and said tax must not be less than sufficient to pay the interest of said bonds for that year, and such a portion of the principal as is to become due during such year, and in any event must be high enough to raise annually, for the first half of the term said bonds have to run, a sufficient sum to pay the interest thereon; and during the balance of the term high enough to pay such annual interest, and to pay annually a proportion of the principal of said bonds, equal to a sum produced by taking the whole amount of said bonds outstanding and dividing it by the number of years said bonds then have to run; and all taxes so levied, when collected, shall as herein provided be paid into the county treasury of the county whose superintendent of schools has jurisdiction over the junior college district in behalf of which such tax was levied to the credit of the bond interest and sinking fund of such junior college district, and be used for the payment of the principal and interest on said bonds and for no other purpose. The principal and interest on said bonds shall be paid by the county treasurer of the county aforesaid at the place required by the terms of such bonds, upon presentation and surrender of warrants drawn by the county auditor in payment thereof after he has canceled the bonds and coupons, or upon the receipt of the registered owner if such bonds are registered, after a proper warrant has been drawn by the auditor therefor, out of the fund provided for their payment. In case of a junior college district situated in two or more counties, the assessor of each of such counties must annually, as soon as the county assessments have been equalized by the state board of equalization certify to the board of supervisors of each of the counties in which any portion of such junior college district is situated, the assessed value of all taxable property in such county situated in such junior college district, and the said tax shall be so levied according to the ratio which the assessed value of the property in such junior college district in any county bears to the total assessed value of the property in such district, each board of supervisors to levy upon the property in such junior college district and within their own county, such rate of tax as will be sufficient to raise not less than the amount needed to pay the interest and such portion of the principal of such bonds as is to become due during such year. Said táx shall be entered upon the assessment-roll and collected in the same manner as other school taxes are entered and collected and when collected paid into the treasury of such county and it shall then be the duty of the treasurer of any such county other than the one whose superintendent of schools has jurisdiction over such junior college, on written demand of the treasurer of the county whose superintendent of schools has jurisdiction over such junior college to pay the sum collected on account of such tax into the treasury of the county whose superintendent of schools has jurisdiction over such junior college. Wherever money has been raised for the payment of principal or interest of outstanding bonds of any junior college district and the same is at the time this section takes effect in the treasury of any other county than that prescribed by this section for the custody of such funds, the same shall at once be paid into the proper county treasury as above provided. § 4. Withdrawal of unsold bonds. Whenever any bonds authorized under the provisions of sections one and two of this act shall remain unsold for the period of six months after having been offered for sale in the manner prescribed by the board of supervisors, the junior college board of the junior college district, for and on account of which such bonds were issued, may petition the board of supervisors to whom the proceedings were certified to cause such unsold bonds to be withdrawn from the market and canceled. Upon receiving such petition, signed by a majority of the members of said junior college board, the said board of supervisors shall fix a time for hearing the same, which shall not be more than thirty days thereafter, and shall cause a notice, stating the time and place of hearing, and the object of the petition in general terms, to be published for ten days prior to the day of hearing, in some newspaper published in said junior college district, if there is one, and if there is no newspaper published in said junior college district, then in a newspaper published at the county seat of the county. At the time and place designated in the notice for hearing said petition, or at any subsequent time to which said hearing may be postponed, the said board of supervisors shall hear any reasons that may be submitted for or against the granting of the petition, and if said board shall deem it for the best interests of the junior college district named in the petition, that such unsold bonds be canceled, said board shall make and enter an order in the minutes of its proceedings that said unsold bonds be canceled; and thereupon said bonds and the vote by which they were authorized to be issued shall cease to be of any validity whatever.
