N.M. Stat. § 16-6-30
[Tax levy; redemption fund; procedure for redeeming
bonds.]
Upon the issuance of bi-state fair association bonds the board of county
commissioners shall forthwith levy a tax sufficient to pay the interest and to discharge
said bonds, as and when same are due and payable.
It shall be the duty of the county treasurer to keep said interest and redemption fund
separate and distinct, and when there are sufficient monies in his hands to the credit of
said fund to pay in full the principal and interest of any bonds issued under this act [16-
6-25 through 16-6-30 NMSA 1978], to immediately call in and pay as many of such
bonds, with accrued interest thereon, as such funds in his hands will liquidate. Such
bonds shall be paid in order of their number, and when it is desired to redeem any of
such bonds the county treasurer shall cause to be published in two weekly issues of
some daily or weekly newspaper published in the county a notice stating that certain bi-
state fair association bonds of Curry county by numbers and amounts will be paid on
presentation, and that at the expiration of fifteen (15) days after the last publication of
notice herein provided such bonds shall cease to bear interest, and when any bonds or
coupons issued under this act are redeemed, it shall be the duty of the county treasurer
to certify his action to the board of county commissioners, who shall cancel the bonds
by punching holes through all the signatures of the bonds and coupons, so that they can
be plainly identified.
