If the maturity of the indebtedness created by the issue of the bonds is made to begin more than one year after the date of issue, the tax shall be levied and collected each year, sufficient to pay the interest on the indebtedness as it falls due, and also to constitute a sinking fund for the payment of the principal on or before maturity. 55704. All taxes pursuant to this chapter shall be levied and collected at the time and in the same manner as the general tax levy for county purposes, and when collected shall be paid into the county treasury to be used for the payment of the principal and interest on bonds, or paid into the county treasury to the credit of the proper fund of the district.
