And districts that are keen for wiping off the slate a part of what they owe the Government? Mr. DAVIS. Yes; that is probably true.

That upon such adjustment being made, any penalties or interest which may have accrued in connection with such unpaid construction and operation and maintenance charges shall be canceled, and in lieu thereof the amount so due, and the payment of which is hereby extended, shall draw interest at the rate of 5 per centum per annum, paid annually from the time said amount became due to date of payment: And provided further. That in case the principal and interest herein provided for are not paid in the manner and at the time provided by this section any penalty now provided by law shall thereupon attach from the date of such default.
