Moneys in said account may be used by the City for the pur- pose of making any payments required by either Section 404 or Section 405 of this ordinance. Any surplus remaining in the Operating Fund, after mak- ing the payments for Operating Expenses required by Section 404 and the payments into the Current Account and Reserve Account of the Debt Service Fund required by Section 405 and the payments into the Operation Reserve Account required by this section, may be used by the City for any lawful purpose. Section 407. Moneys in the Current Account of the Debt Service Fund shall be used by the City for the purpose of paying or making provision for paying the principal of and interest on the Bonds or Issued Bonds or Addi- tional Bonds as such principal and interest fall due.

All moneys in the Debt Service Fund shall be held by the City in trust, and they are hereby pledged to and charged with the payments mentioned in this section. Section 408. Moneys on deposit to the credit of the Reserve Account of the Debt Service Fund or the Operation Reserve Account of the Operating Fund may, in the discretion of the City Council of the City, be invested in direct obligations of, or obligations the principal and interest of which are unconditionally guaranteed by, the United States Government. Obliga- tions so purchased as an investment of moneys in either of such accounts shall be deemed at all times to be a part of such account, and the inter• est accruing thereon and any profit realized from such investment shall be credited to such account, and any loss resulting from such investment shall be charged to such account. The City shall sell at the best price obtainable any obligations so purchased whenever it may be necessary so to do in order to provide moneys to meet any payment or transfer from such account.

The City may from time to time sell or lease such other property forming part of the Systems as it may determine is not needed or serves no useful purpose in connection with the maintenance and operation of the Systems.
