the full faith and credit of the municipality and county.

(c) The bonds shall be sold only after public advertisement for

bids, to the bidder offering the lowest effective interest rate and

best terms on the proposal so advertised, and may be sold for such

provided by Section 498.1 of this title on the amount received,

computed with relation to the absolute maturity of the bonds in

accordance with the Standard Tables of Bond Values. The bonds may

be sold with the privilege of conversion into an issue bearing other
