The redemption premium, if any, on such outstanding bonds on the prior redemption thereof. 3. The interest due and payable on such outstanding bonds to the dates upon which the principal of such bonds matures or to the dates upon which the outstanding bonds are called for redemption by the district, which call dates may, subject to the resolutions authorizing said outstanding bonds, be any date prior to maturity of said outstanding bonds, including any interest theretofore accrued and unpaid. 4.
