    (1)

    The interest upon such revenue bonds as such interest shall fall due;

    (2)

    The principal of the bonds as the same shall fall due;

    (3)

    The necessary charges of paying agent or agents for paying principal and interest; and

    Any premium upon bonds retired by call or purchase as hereinabove provided.

    The use and disposition of such sinking fund shall be subject to such regulations as may be provided in the resolution authorizing the issuance of the revenue bonds or in any trust indenture, but, except as may otherwise be provided in such resolution or trust indenture, such sinking fund shall be a fund for the benefit of all revenue bonds without distinction or priority of one over another. Subject to the provisions of the resolution authorizing the issuance of the bonds or in any trust indenture, surplus monies in the sinking fund may be applied to the purchase or redemption of bonds and any such bonds so purchased or redeemed shall forthwith be cancelled and shall not again be issued.
