The number of bonds to be paid each year need not be the same, and the governing body may fix maturities so that the number of bonds retired each year will, in the discretion of the governing body, be most equitable and just; however, all bonds shall be completely paid within forty years from date of issue.

(Enacted by Stats. 1939, Ch. 60.)

Terms Used In California Health and Safety Code 4990

  • Bonds: as used in this chapter , means revenue bonds authorized by this chapter. See California Health and Safety Code 4956
  • Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
  • Governing body: as used in this chapter , means the governing body of the district. See California Health and Safety Code 4952
