heretofore issued". Given that statutes are
said to be speaking constantly in the present
tense, it is possible to construe this phrase,
as referring to bonds outstanding "at any
given point in time and from time to time";
however, such a reading merely states the
constitutionally obvious point that a state or
political subdivision cannot impair the
obligation of any contract. Consequently, it
is believed that the phrase simply refers to
bonds outstanding on June 1, 1947, the
effective date of Ch. 560, Acts of 1947, which
first enacted present §34 (d); accordingly,
that date is substituted for the quoted
phrase in subsection (b) (1) and a counterpart
reference is inserted in subsection
(b)(2)(iii) of this section.
The only other changes are in style.
As to the use of highway user revenues for
matching federal funds, see §8-504 of this
title.
