New Jersey § 32:1-138

§ 32:1-138.

Nothing herein contained shall be construed to affect, diminish or impair the rights

and obligations created by, or to repeal any of the provisions of, chapter three hundred

and fifty-two of the Laws of New Jersey of one thousand nine hundred and twenty and

chapter two hundred and sixty-two of the Laws of New Jersey of one thousand and nine

hundred and twenty-four. 1 If, however, any loss shall be suffered by or accrue to the said sinking fund, and

if, after the making of the payment by the port authority to the state of New Jersey

as hereinbefore provided, the moneys in the said sinking fund shall at any time be

or become less than an amount equal to the principal amount of the then currently

outstanding New Jersey Camden bridge-Holland tunnel bonds, or if the income and interest

currently received from or currently accruing upon the moneys in the said sinking

fund shall be or become insufficient to pay the interest currently accruing upon or

currently payable in connection with the aforesaid New Jersey Camden bridge-Holland

tunnel bonds, the state of New Jersey represents and agrees that it will make good

such deficits out of sources other than revenues from the said Holland tunnel. The said payment by the port authority to the state of New Jersey constitutes repayment

for all moneys contributed by the said state toward the cost of construction of the

said Holland tunnel, including the moneys diverted and appropriated by chapter three

hundred and nineteen of the Laws of New Jersey of one thousand nine hundred and twenty-six

and chapter fifty-eight of the Laws of New Jersey of one thousand nine hundred and

twenty-seven from the road fund, created by chapter fifteen of the Laws of New Jersey

of one thousand nine hundred and seventeen. The requirement of chapter fifty-eight of the Laws of New Jersey of one thousand

nine hundred and twenty-seven that the said moneys diverted and appropriated by the

said statutes of the state of New Jersey shall be returned and credited to the said

road fund, with interest, shall be and shall be deemed to be satisfied and discharged

so far as it relates to the revenues arising from the operation of the said Holland

tunnel. The provisions of this section shall constitute a covenant and agreement by the state

of New Jersey with the state of New York, the port authority and the holders of any

bonds or other obligations of the port authority, as security for which the tolls

and revenues of said Holland tunnel may be pledged. 1

L.1920, c. 352 and L.1924, c. 262 have been saved from repeal; see N.J.S.A. §§ 32:7-1,

32:7-2.
