of bonds or contracts or certificates of indebtedness constituting liens against the

land sought to be excluded, and the owner of such land if the owner has not petitioned

for exclusion thereof, shall consent in writing to the exclusion and unless all bonded

indebtedness of the district chargeable to the land sought to be excluded is paid,
