If the board of directors determines that assessments levied before February 25, 1933 against the lands of the district for either its general fund or bond and United States contract fund are delinquent to such an extent that the enforcement of the payments thereof through tax title proceedings is impracticable, and further determines that it is to the benefit of the irrigation district to compromise, abate, or reallocate any part or all of such assessments, the board may compromise, abate, or reallocate any of the delinquent assessments, subject to the following conditions: (1) All claims or obligations against the district's general fund for all years in which the assessments were levied have been paid in full before the compromise, abatement, or reallocation, or if not paid in full, the owners of the obligations have consented in writing to the proposed compromise, abatement, or reallocation; (2) If the district's bond and United States contract fund would be affected by the compromise, abatement, or reallocation, the written consent of the United States, if the assessments were levied to meet contract obligations to the United States, or of all bondholders, if the assessments were levied to meet bonded indebtedness or interest on the bonds, shall be obtained to each such proposed compromise, abatement, or reallocation, before it becomes effective. The compromises, abatements, or reallocations may be made, without the individual consent of the United States or bondholders, if made pursuant to the terms of a contract between the district and the United States or the bondholders. The board is hereby vested with authority to execute the contract with the United States or the district bondholders. This section does not limit the rights of any irrigation district under the existing laws to compromise, abate, or refund district assessments but is cumulative to those rights.
