The warrants shall be issued, registered, redeemed and bear interest in the manner and be in the form prescribed by K.S.A. 79-2940, and any amendments thereto, except such warrants shall not contain the notation required by said section, and any surplus existing after the redemption of said warrants shall be handled in the manner prescribed in K.S.A. 79-2940.
