with United States for construction or purchase of works
After a bond indebtedness has been authorized by the qualified electors of a
district, the board of directors, instead of issuing bonds in the manner provided in this
article, may enter into an obligation or contract with the United States for the
construction or purchase of the necessary works under the provisions of an act of
Congress entitled "An act appropriating the receipts from the sale and disposal of public
lands in certain states and territories for the construction of irrigation works for the
reclamation of arid lands," approved June 17, 1902, and all amendments thereto, or any
other law of the United States enacted to aid the reclamation of arid lands, and the
rules and regulations thereunder, or the board of directors may issue bonds for a portion
of the amount of the indebtedness authorized by the bond election and enter into an
obligation or contract with the United States to the extent of the remainder of such
amount, and may obligate and bind the district for the payments to be made thereunder in
the manner and at the time and places provided by the act of Congress and by the rules
and regulations thereunder.
