§ 40:3-14 — Bonds falling due; funds transmitted for payment

At least three days previous to the time when any bonds shall fall due, for which there are funds to the credit of such bonds in the custody of the sinking fund commission, the commission shall transmit to the chief financial officer of the municipality, county or school district, as the case may be, the funds on hand to the credit of such bond issue, providing such funds are not in excess of the amount of bonds falling due, in which case only an amount sufficient to retire such bonds shall be transmitted. Should there be a surplus in any account, after the payment of all the bonds of such issue, then such surplus shall be placed in the special sinking fund account, if such shall exist in accordance with the provisions of this chapter, and if there be no special sinking fund account, such surplus shall be distributed among the other bond accounts in the sinking fund, and credited to the principal thereof.
