In case any contract is made with the United States, bonds of the district may be transferred to or deposited with the United States if so provided by the contract, at not less than their par value, to the amount, or any part thereof, to be paid by the district to the United States. The interest or principal, or both, of the bonds may be regularly paid to the United States and applied as provided in the contract.
