such debt service reserve fund at the time of issuance, unless the
Service, at the time of the issuance of such bonds, shall deposit in
such debt service reserve fund from the proceeds of the bonds so to
be issued, or otherwise, an amount which, together with the amount
then in such debt service reserve fund, will be not less than the maxi-

all bonds of the Service then outstanding and secured by such debt
service reserve fund. In order further to assure the maintenance of
such debt service reserve funds in the respective amounts provided
therefor by the Service in the issuance of its bonds secured thereby,
there may be annually appropriated and paid to the Service for de-
posit in each such debt service reserve fund such amount, if any, as
shall be certified by the Director of the Service to the Governor as
necessary to restore such debt service reserve fund to an amount
equal to the maximum amount provided therefor by the Service as
aforesaid. The Director of the Service shall annually, on or before
the 10th day of February, make and deliver to the Governor his
certificate stating the amount, if any, required to restore each debt
service reserve fund to the amount aforesaid and the amount or
amounts so certified, if any, may be appropriated and paid to the
Service during the next succeeding fiscal year.

(d)    In computing the amount of any debt service reserve fund
for the purposes of this section, securities in which all or a portion
of such fund shall be invested shall be valued at par, or if purchased
at less than par, at their cost to the Service.

(e)    For the purposes of this section, the principal of bonds shall
become due at the stated date of maturity or such earlier date as such
bonds may be payable by operation of any sinking fund applicable
thereto.
