Chapter 29 - Drainage Districts with Local Commissioners
§ 51-29-165. Disposition of proceeds of reforestation release

On the rendition of said order the chancery clerk shall pay over to the board of commissioners of said district the amount so paid in to him, which amount shall be held in a special fund to be deposited with the depository of said district under all protections now provided by law for the deposit of funds of drainage districts. Said special fund shall only be withdrawn thereafter in annual installments of the exact amount of the tax which would have been raised by the levy for the year in question from said tract or tracts, had same not been released from the district, and used by the commissioners only in payment of outstanding indebtedness of the district. However, if the holder or holders of the outstanding indebtedness of the district chargeable against the assessed benefits thereof consent to the release of said land or lands from the district, the sum so paid by the landowners shall be paid to such consenting holders of said indebtedness and immediately credited thereon.
