Such facts shall be included in the notice of the election. The bonds shall bear interest payable semiannually at the rate or rates set by the accepted bid which shall not exceed the maximum rate set forth in the notice of the election. The bonds may be made payable any place in the United States that is agreeable to the board and the purchasers.
