Said fund shall be continued and maintained in the manner herein specified until all of the improvement bonds now or hereafter issued primarily payable from said fund, and interest on such bonds, shall have been fully paid. In said fund there shall be maintained two separate accounts, to be.designated as the "Construction Account" and Sin�ng Fund Account", respectively. The proceeds of sale of the improvement bonds herein _ authorized, and of bonds hereafter authorized and issued to pay any part of the cost of said improvement, less any accrued interest and premium received thereon, shall be credited to the Construction Account, and there \- shall also be credited to said account, from the receipts of the special assessments thereinafter agreed to be levied, so much thereof as shall be needed, in addition to the funds received from the sale of the bonds �1 hereinafter authorized to 'oe issued, to complete said improvement; provided, not more than $250,000.00 of said receipts of special assessments may be paid into said account. From said Account there shall be paid costs and expenses of making said improvement, as incur- red and allowed, and the moneys in said account shall be used for no other purpose; provided, that if the moneys on hand in the Sinking Fund Account described below are at any time insufficient to meet the payment of maturing principal and interest on any outstanding bonds which are primarily payable from said fund, moneys in said Construcion Account may be used to the extent necessary to pay all such principal and interest when due; and further provided, that if upon completion of said improve- ment there shall remain any unexpended balance in said Construction Account, such balance shall be transferred to the Sinking Fund Account.
