16    shall be repaid to the State Treasury out of the proceeds  of
17    the  sale  of  such bonds, for deposit in the fund from which

 1    extensions of existing toll highways. If no  such  new  bonds
 2    are  issued,  and  the  money  appropriated  by  the  General
 3    Assembly  has  not  otherwise  been  repaid in full, then the
 4    Authority shall, after payment  of  all  existing  bonds  and
 5    interest thereon, continue to collect tolls for the privilege
 6    of  using  the  toll  highways  constructed  pursuant  to the

10    Commission, and to define its powers and duties and to repeal
11    an Act therein named", approved July 13,  1953,  as  amended,
12    until  such  time  as  the  tolls collected are sufficient to
13    repay any such unpaid money. The tolls so collected shall  be
14    paid  by  the  Authority to the State treasury for deposit in
15    the fund from which such sums were appropriated.

22    expenses and obligations as provided in this Act.  All  other

24    contingent expenses for the  Authority's  annual  operations,
25    are  subject  to annual appropriation by the General Assembly
26    from the special fund (or from other  funds  as  provided  in

29    disbursements, as provided in this Act, and shall be paid out
30    and disbursed only as provided herein, and shall not, at  any
31    time  be  appropriated  or  diverted  to  any  other  use  or
32    purpose."; and
