§ 59-9-43. Sale and disposition of proceeds of bonds issued under §§ 59-9-37 and 59-9-41.
 

The board of supervisors of a county issuing bonds under Sections 59-9-37 and 59-9-41 shall sell such bonds in such manner and for such price as it may determine to be for the best interest of said county, but no such sale (other than revenue bonds) shall be made at a price less than par plus accrued interest to date of delivery of the bonds to the purchaser. Notice of the sale of any such bonds (other than revenue bonds) shall be published at least one (1) time not less than ten (10) days prior to the date of sale and shall be published in a newspaper published in and having general circulation within such county. 
 

The proceeds of such bonds shall be paid into a special fund or funds in banks qualified to act as depositories for such county. The proceeds of such bonds shall be solely for the purposes for which they were issued, and the redeeming of any outstanding bonds, and shall be disbursed upon order of the board of supervisors of such county, with such restriction, if any, as the resolution authorizing the issuance of the bonds may provide. If the proceeds of such bonds, by error of calculation or otherwise, shall be less than the cost of the purpose for which they were issued, and the redeeming of any outstanding bonds, unless otherwise provided in the resolution authorizing the issuance of such bonds, additional bonds may in like manner be issued to provide the amount of such deficit which, unless otherwise provided in the resolution authorizing the issuance of bonds, shall be deemed to be of the same issue and shall be entitled to payment from the same fund without preference or priority of the bonds first issued for the same purpose. If the proceeds of the bonds of any issue shall exceed the amount required for the purpose for which the bonds were issued, the surplus shall be paid into the fund established for the payment of the principal of and the interest on such bonds.
