 At any refunding bond election held under the provisions of sections 37-43-144 to 37-43-151 , the board of directors may submit to the voters of the district the question of giving landowners the privilege of relieving their lands from the lien of taxes or assessments to be levied for the payment of said refunding bonds and the interest thereon. If authorized by a majority of those voting on the question, any owner of land within the district, who is not in default in the payment of irrigation district taxes or assessments, may relieve his lands from the burden of such refunded indebtedness by paying to the district treasurer an amount of money sufficient to retire district bonds in such ratio to the total bonded indebtedness of the district as the acreage of lands which he owns within such district bears to the total acreage thereof subject to such bonded indebtedness plus fifteen percent for the privilege of discharging his total indebtedness to the district at one time. The treasurer shall thereupon issue to such landowner his official receipt in duplicate, one of which receipts shall be filed with the secretary of such irrigation district and one filed for record in the office of the county clerk and recorder of the county wherein the lands involved are situate, and from and after such filing, such lands shall be free and clear from all liens, levies, and assessments of such bonded indebtedness for which such payment was made.

ANNOTATION   Law reviews. For article, ”One Year Review of Property Law“, see 38 Dicta 192 (1961).   This act allows a dissolution of districts which are, as well as those which are not, in debt. Michigan Trust Co. v. Otero Irrigation Dist., 76 Colo. 441 , 232 P. 919 (1925).   Debts must be paid. The dissolution statute, if construed to authorize the dissolution of an irrigation district without payment of its just debts, would be unconstitutional as impairing the obligation of contracts and as depriving citizens of their property without due process of law. Michigan Trust Co. v. Otero Irrigation Dist., 76 Colo. 441 , 232 P. 919 (1925).   Bondholders may be afforded relief in equity. Where the district and its officials have voluntarily surrendered the property and their official positions so that they are no longer able to respond to any mandamus suit which might be instituted to carry the judgments and claims of plaintiffs into effect, nonresident bondholders may be afforded relief in a court of equity, for otherwise they are without any remedy to effect the collection of their claims.
