(a) If any bond or interest coupon on any bond issued by any municipal improvement district is not paid within sixty (60) days after its maturity, it shall be the duty of the chancery court, on application of the trustee for the bondholders or of the holder of any such bond or coupons overdue to cause the collection of the taxes of the district and appoint an assessor to reassess the benefits, if necessary.

(b) The proceeds of the taxes and collections shall be applied after payment of cost, first to overdue interest and then to payment pro rata of all bonds issued by the board, which are then due and payable.
