Payment of installments; construction assessments of landowners.| The owner of any land in any irrigation or drainage district coming within the provisions of W.S. 41-6-201, may, not less than ten (10) days before the maturity of any installment of principal or interest evidenced by such bonds, pay to the treasurer of the county in which said lands are situated, all or any part of the unmatured portion of any assessment for construction levied against the same to provide for the payment of its proportionate share of the indebtedness evidenced by said bonds. Upon receipt of any such payment, said county treasurer shall cause proper credit to be entered upon the record of said assessment, and thereafter a corresponding reduction shall be made in the annual installments of said assessment to be collected. The acceptance of such payments shall not be construed, however, as relieving any such land from its liability for future assessments made for any lawful purpose. Upon receipt of any such payments, the county treasurer shall promptly remit the same to the state treasurer, who shall, on the date on which the next installment of principal or interest shall mature, credit all payments thus received upon the bonds of the district, as provided in the preceding section, retaining any amount too small to be applied until it shall be sufficiently augmented by future payments to admit of its application as therein provided.
