  therein, prohibiting any contractor, to whom any contract shall be  let,
  granted  or  awarded,  as required by law, from assigning, transferring,
  conveying, subletting or otherwise disposing of  the  same,  or  of  his
  right,  title,  or  interest  therein,  or  his  power  to  execute such
  contract, to any  other  person  or  corporation  without  the  previous
  consent  in  writing  of  the  officer,  board  or  agency  awarding the
  contract.
    2. If any contractor, to whom any contract is let, granted or awarded,
  as required by law, by any officer,  board  or  agency  of  a  political
  subdivision,  or  of  any  district  therein, shall without the previous
  written consent specified in subdivision one of  this  section,  assign,
  transfer,  convey,  sublet or otherwise dispose of such contract, or his
  right, title or interest therein, or his power to execute such contract,
  to any other person or corporation, the officer, board or  agency  which
  let,  made, granted or awarded such contract shall revoke and annul such
  contract, and the political subdivision or district therein, as the case
  may be, and  such  officer,  board  or  agency  shall  be  relieved  and
  discharged  from  any  and  all liability and obligations growing out of
  such contract to such contractor, and to the person  or  corporation  to
  which  such  contract  shall  have been assigned, transferred, conveyed,
  sublet or otherwise disposed of, and such contractor, and his assignees,
  transferees or sublessees shall forfeit and lose all moneys, theretofore
  earned under such contract, except so much as may be required to pay his
  employees. The provisions of this section shall not hinder, prevent,  or
  affect  an  assignment  by  any  such  contractor for the benefit of his
  creditors made pursuant to the laws of this state.
