    Said bonds and the interest theron are payable from a special fund designated "Street Improvement Assessment District No. 100-23 Bond Interest and Redemption Fund;" containing the receipts upon the collection thereof from the special assess­ments levied against and secured by a lien upon property in Street Improvement Assessment District No. 100-23 in said City; said assessments bearing interest commencing June 1, 1954, and payable annually on each principal paying date at the same rate of interest as borne by said bonds; said assess­ments being payable in ten substantially equal annual install­ments of principal on or before June 1, 1955, and on or before the same day in each year thereafter until paid in full; or, at the owner's option; the whole of the unpaid principal with interest accruing thereon to the next interest paying date being payable at any time; provided, however, that in the event said fund shall be insufficient to pay said bonds and interest thereon as they became due, the deficiency shall be paid out of the City's general fund. Bidders are required to submit a bid specifying (a) the lowest rate of interest and premium, if any, above par at which the bidder will purchase said bonds; or (b) the lowest rate of interest at which the bidder will purchase said bonds at par. All of the bonds shall bear one rate of interest, and said interest shall be payable by one or more sets of coupons. The bonds will be sold to the bidder making the best bid, sub­ject to the right of the corporate authorities of the City of Las Vegas to reject any and all bids and readvertise. None of said bonds shall be sold at less than par and accrued interest, nor will any discount or commission be allowed or paid on the sale of such bonds. All bids shall be sealed and, except the bid of the State of Nevada, shall be accompanied by a deposit of five percent, either cash or certified check, of the amount of the bid, which will be returned if the bid is not accepted; and if the successful bidder shall fail or neglect to complete the purchase of said bonds within thirty days follow­ing the acceptance of his bid, the amount of his deposit shall be forfeited to the City of Las Vegas, and, in that event, the corporate authorities of said City may accept the bid of the one making the next best bid, or if all bids are rejected, such authorities may readvertise said bonds for sale. If there be two or more equal bids and such bids are the best bids received and are not less than par and accrued interest, the corporate authorities will determine which bid shall be accepted. The legality of the bonds will be approved by Messrs. Pershing, Bosworth, Dick and Dawson, Attorneys at Law, Denver, Colorado, whose opinion together with the printed bonds, will be furnished the purchaser without charge.
