callable bonds for payment on the interest payment date.

county treasurer.



52175.  The county treasurer shall add the principal of the bonds so

provided by those bonds to be paid upon such call, to the amount
which he is required to collect for payment of the next maturing
principal and interest of the outstanding bonds.



52176.  The county treasurer, in his notice of call of assessment,
shall specify the amount which is included for payment of principal
of and interest on the bonds to be called and premium thereon.



52177.  The county treasurer shall publish, in a newspaper of
general circulation printed and published in the principal county
once a week for four weeks prior to the date on which bonds are

52178.  The notice of the call of bonds shall contain a reference to
the order of the board calling the bonds and a notification to all
holders of bonds so called to present the bonds for payment on the
date specified in the notice. The notice of call shall further state
that whenever, on or after the call date specified in the notice,
funds are received by the county treasurer for payment of the bonds,
coupons and premium, all interest thereon shall cease.



52179.  In the event the bonds are callable at a premium, the board
shall draw a warrant or warrants in favor of the county treasurer
from time to time as bonds are called for redemption in an amount
equal to the amount of the premium required to be paid on the bonds
then called for redemption. Each such warrant shall be drawn against
funds derived from the additional or supplemental assessment required
to be levied pursuant to Section 51301.5. The amounts collected on
such additional or supplemental assessment shall be used by the
county treasurer for the payment of the premium on the bonds then
called for redemption and, to the extent of such payment, such
warrant shall be reduced or canceled by endorsement on the reverse
thereof.
