The time of payment of any assessment or any installment thereof may be extended, in whole or in part, whether due or not due, and any notes or bonds of the district, or any part thereof, issued in anticipation of the collection of any original or additional assessment or installment thereof, may be refunded. Notes or bonds not due may be refunded only by agreement with the holders, provided that no holder shall receive an amount in excess of the par value thereof, together with accrued interest. In the event that less than all of the notes or bonds are refunded, the due date of a like proportion of the assessment or installment against which the notes or bonds are a lien shall be extended. Assessments or installments, or any part thereof, may be divided into a greater or less number of installments than was originally provided, but the time of payment of any assessment or installment, or any part thereof, shall not be extended beyond 40 years from the date of the order providing for such extension. The commissioners may on their own motion, and shall upon receiving a petition signed by the owners of land whose unpaid assessments against which such notes or bonds are a lien equal to at least 25% of all such unpaid assessments, petition the court to extend the time of payment of any assessment or installment, or any part thereof, and to issue refunding bonds. The petition shall set forth (a) a description of all assessments, any part of which remains unpaid, including the date or dates of confirmation, the amount remaining unpaid, the amount due in each year and the rate of interest, (b) the amount of cash on hand, (c) a description of the notes or bonds of the district outstanding, including the date of issue of such notes or bonds, the dates of maturity, the rate of interest and the assessments or installments against which such notes or bonds are a lien, (d) other indebtedness of the district, if any, (e) the assessments or installments they desire to extend, either in whole or in part, together with the desired maturities of the extended assessments, installments or parts thereof and the proposed rate of interest that said extended assessments or installments shall bear, (f) the assessments, installments or parts thereof, if any, they desire to remain as theretofore confirmed, (g) the amount, maturities and rate of interest of the proposed refunding notes or bonds, and (h) if it is proposed to extend the time of payment of assessments or installments, or any part thereof, not yet due, a statement whether the holders of the notes or bonds will surrender their notes or bonds in exchange for refunding notes or bonds or, in the alternative, accept, in payment thereof, an amount not in excess of the par value thereof, together with accrued interest. Accompanying such petition shall be an assessment roll, setting forth (a) the name of the owner of each tract of land or other property against which any such assessment, installment or part thereof remain unpaid, if known, or, if unknown, then the name of the person who last paid the general taxes thereon, as shown by the Collector's books, (b) a description of each tract of land or other property, (c) the amount of unpaid assessments or installments against each tract, (d) the amount and maturity of each installment of the proposed extended assessments against each tract, and (e) the amount and maturity of each assessment, installment or part thereof, if any, which is to remain as theretofore confirmed against each tract.
