Text

Sections 37-43-124 to 37-43-131 shall be liberally
construed to carry out the intent and purpose, and nothing in this article shall be
held to curtail or abridge the powers of the district officers, the boards of county
commissioners, or the revenue officers of the state in the assessment, levy, or
collection of irrigation district taxes, or in any other particular. All such powers are
expressly retained and, in addition thereto, such officers have all powers necessary
or proper to enable them to fully carry out the provisions of sections 37-43-124 to
37-43-131. The procedure provided in this article shall not be deemed to affect any
liens for unpaid taxes or assessments which have been duly levied and assessed,
existing at the time of the filing of the petition in the district court; but nothing in
sections 37-43-124 to 37-43-131 or in the procedure therein provided shall be
construed in any manner to either impair, enlarge, or give additional rights or
powers to the holders of bonds or other evidences of district indebtedness. The
board of directors of the district has the right to sell or otherwise dispose of any of
the personal property of the district in the ordinary course of business, and nothing
in sections 37-43-124 to 37-43-131 shall be taken or held to interfere with such
right.
