The Controller shall request the State Treasurer to transfer and the Treasurer shall immediately transfer, any and all moneys deposited in the Bond Fund or Bond Interest Fund of the assessment from the fund or funds into the Construction Fund of the assessment to be used for the retirement of warrants pursuant to the provisions of this part.
(Added by Stats. 1943, Ch. 369.)
Immediately upon the bonds authorized and directed to be canceled by this article being canceled, the board may order that assessment number six shall be paid in semiannual installments equal to not less than 31/2 per cent of the principal of the assessment for each installment.
(Added by Stats. 1943, Ch. 369.)
If a supplementary assessment number six is levied by the board, immediately upon the supplementary assessment number six becoming a lien upon the lands, the board shall rescind and cancel its then existing order and the board may order that thereafter the assessment number six and the supplementary assessment number six shall be paid in semiannual installments equal to not less than 31/2 per cent of the principal amount of the assessment for each installment.
(Added by Stats. 1943, Ch. 369.)
Each of the semiannual installments upon each tract shall be based upon the original principal amount of the assessment on the tract less any deductions theretofore made by reason of any credits made upon the tract pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 556 of the Statutes of 1919, and shall continue to be so based until such time as the principal and interest of the assessment on the tract are paid in full.
(Added by Stats. 1943, Ch. 369.)
The board may, by order entered in its minutes, postpone or discontinue from time to time the calling of the semiannual installments or any of them for such periods of time as it deems advisable.
(Added by Stats. 1943, Ch. 369.)
Any owner or holder of lands within the boundaries of the drainage district whose lands are subject to the lien of assessment number six or supplemental assessment number six levied in connection with project number six may present to any officer authorized by law to collect such assessments, or any part thereof, warrants of the district now, or hereafter to be, issued in connection with project number six in payment of his assessment, or any part thereof.
(Added by Stats. 1943, Ch. 369.)
Any officer mentioned in the next preceding section shall accept such warrants so presented or tendered in payment of the assessment, or any part thereof, at the face value of the warrant or warrants so presented, plus accrued interest.

The Controller shall, upon demand of the board, cancel the warrants and credit the face value thereof, plus the accrued interest thereon to the date of the tender of the warrants in payment of assessments to the fund upon which the warrants were originally drawn and charge the fund with the accrued interest. Thereupon the Controller shall notify the State Treasurer of the cancellation and the State Treasurer shall make the proper entry in his books.
(Added by Stats. 1943, Ch. 369.)
Partial payments on any tract in excess of any regular installment amount shall be credited to the payment of the principal amount of the assessment upon that tract thereby reducing the interest that would thereafter accrue upon that tract.
(Added by Stats. 1943, Ch. 369.)
Any and all partial payments of principal may, and upon request of the person making payment shall, be credited to the amounts charged against the tract by reason of benefits other than flood control until such charges have been paid in full and thereafter to the amounts charged against the tract by reason of flood control benefits.
