If for any reason there shall be a deficiency in the funds derived
from the annual assessments for any maintenance or improvement
ordered pursuant to this ordinance, including all incidental expenses
thereof, the Commissioners may meet such deficiency by an appro-
priation out of the general fund or may advance such sums, to be
repaid out of the proceeds of the annual assessment for the next or
ensuing years, as deemed appropriate by the Commissioners.

34EE.

Any unexpended balance remaining in the special fund for the
maintenance or improvement after the repayment of the costs and
expenses of the maintenance or improvement for which the assess-
