PART VIII

formed under paragraph (b) thereof as "an accumulating

sinking fund".

(2) Every aun paid to a sinking fund shall, unless

applied in repayment of the moneys for the repayment of

which the sinking fund is formed, or in such other manner

as may be authorized by any enactment, be invested in

securities in which trustees are for the time being

authorized by law to invest trust money or in such other

securities as the Governor may in writing permit and the

Council may from time to time vary and transpose the

investments.

(3) In the case of an accumulating sinking fund the

interest received in any year from the investment of the

sums set apart for the purpose of the sinking fund shall

form part of the revenue for that year of the Council's

general fund, but the contribution to be made to the sinking

fund out of the general fund shall in that year be increased

by a sum equal to the interest that would have accrued to

the sinking fund during that year if interest had been

accumulated therein at the rate per centum per annum on

which the annual payments to the sinking find are based.

(4) The Council may at any time apply the whole or

any part of the sinking fund in or towards the discharge of

the moneys for the repayment of which the sinking fund was

formed:

Provided that, in the case of an accumulating sinking

fund, the Council shall pay into the fund each year and

accumulate during the residue of the fixed period a sum

equal to the interest which would have been produced by

such sinking fund or part thereof so applied if invested

at the rate per centum per annum on which the annual

payments to the sinking fund are based.
