the state department shall not pledge the general income of the state of Colorado

create a mortgage upon the property belonging to any such veterans center, for the
payment of the principal of the warrants and interest thereon. The state

Any moneys in the sinking fund account not necessary for the reserve nor for the

the state, and the title deeds thereto and all insurance policies, certificates of
water rights, and other evidences of ownership to the real property or

thereafter deposited with the state department.
