temporarily invested in United States Government securities.
(b) An income Account to which shall be credited all receipts and income
from the operation of the garbage disposal plant. Out of said account there shall
be first paid all but only such items as by sound accounting practices constitute
normal, reasonable current costs of operation, including costs of necessary current
repairs and replacements, and any sum required to reimburse the general fund of
the Village for such current costs of operation advanced from time to time when
there may be no funds in the account available to pay such cost when due, and there

pose during the ensuing six-month period. The remaining amount in said account

credited to said account on the 15th day of January, March, July and September of
each year hereafter such net revenues as shall be available in the Income Account
in such amount as shall be required to pay principal and interest on all bonds
issued hereunder on February 15th and August 15th following. Said payments shall
be a first and prior charge on said net revenue. Money in the Interest and Sinking
Account shall be used solely for the purpose of payment of principal and interest
on said bonds.
(d) A Reserve Account into which shall be paid the entire net revenue after
payment to the Interest and Sinking Account until there 'shall be accumulated therein
a reserve equal to one year's interest requirements. Thereafter said Reserve
r Account shall be maintained and used only to make up a deficiency when and if moneys
S7� in the Interest and Sinking Account shall be insufficient to pay the principal of,
or interest on, any bonds issued hereunder. Whenever the moneys therein are so
131° used the said reserve shall be restored from the next net revenue available after
satisfying current Interest and Sinking Account requirements.

(e) Surplus Account. All amounts in the Income Account in excess of those
required as herein above set forth for the Interest and Sinking Account and Reserve
S ' Account shall be transferred from time to time to the Surplus Account. Funds

posal plant except as provided in this paragraph. The Village Council may at any
time issue additional revenue bonds, or other obligations, payable as to principal

estimated annual net revenue as herein defined for each year of the period during
which the revenue bonds issued hereunder shall mature, as determined by the Village

determination of operation costs and expenses chargeable against gross revenue for
the same period, shall be in an amount at least one and one-half times the annual
principal and interest requirements for the said revenue bonds, and all other
obligations at any time outstanding, including those so to be issued, and thereafter
to be payable only from said net revenue. In addition to the powers above granted
the Village may issue revenue bonds on a parity as to lien for the purpose of
extending the maturities of any of the bonds of this issue then due whenever there
are no funds available for the payment thereof. Nothing herein shall prevent the
