(3)The rate or rates of interest payable on such bonds and the date or dates of such payment;

(4)The form or forms, denomination or denominations, manner of execution and the place or places of payment thereof and of the interest thereon, which may be at any bank or trust company within or without this State;

(5)Whether such bonds or any part thereof shall be made redeemable before maturity and, if so, upon what terms, conditions, and prices; and
