98340.  The bonds may be issued and sold for not less than their par
value, but otherwise as the board determines.  Before selling any
bonds, or any part thereof, the board shall give notice inviting
sealed bids in such manner as the board may prescribe.  If
satisfactory bids are received, the bonds offered for sale shall be
awarded to the highest responsible bidder.  If no bids are received,
or if the board determines that the bids received are not
satisfactory as to the price or responsibility of the bidders, the
board may reject all bids received, if any, and either again give
notice inviting bids or sell the bonds at private sale.




98341.  All premiums and accrued interest received on the sale of
bonds shall be placed in the fund to be used for the payment of
principal of and interest on the bonds.  The remainder of the
proceeds of the bonds shall be placed in the district treasury to the
credit of the proper fund, and shall be used exclusively for the
objects or purposes for which the bonds were voted; provided that
when such objects and purposes have been accomplished any moneys
remaining shall be transferred to the fund to be used for the payment
of principal and interest on the bonds shall have been paid, any
balance of money then remaining shall be transferred to the general
fund of the district.



98342.  In lieu of the immediate levy of a tax to pay the interest
or any part thereof on any bonded indebtedness incurred in accordance
with this part the board may, in the estimate of the amount of money
necessary to be raised by the bonds, include a sum sufficient to pay
interest on all of the bonds or part thereof during the period of
acquisition, construction, or completion, but for no period in excess
of five years.
