A. All money raised by taxation on the estimated assessment and levy for purposes authorized by this chapter shall be applied to the objects for which levied, and may be used for no other purpose, but if there is a surplus in a fund at any time, and there is no demand for the money in such fund, the board of directors may by order entered upon its minutes direct the treasurer of the district to transfer the surplus to another fund.
