The proceeds received from their sale shall be used to pay the bonds, interest coupons, and interest not represented by coupons, if any. This payment may be made without any prior appropriation for the payment under any budget law.(b) Bonds and interest coupons that have been received in exchange or paid shall be cancelled, and the obligation for interest, not represented by coupons, that has been discharged shall be evidenced by a written acknowledgment of the exchange or payment.Laws 1941, vol. 2, p. 489; P.A. 88-62.
