All such sinking funds shall be pledged to and charged with the payment of (1) the interest upon such bonds as such interest shall fall due, (2) the principal of the bonds as the same shall fall due, (3) the necessary charges of paying agents for paying principal and interest, and (4) any premium upon bonds retired by call or purchase as provided in this Code section.(b) The use and disposition of such sinking funds shall be subject to such regulations as may be provided for in the resolution authorizing the issuance of the bonds or in the trust indenture, but, except as may otherwise be provided in such resolutions or trust indentures, such sinking funds individually shall be funds for the benefit of all bonds without distinction or priority of one over another. Subject to the resolution authorizing the issuance of the bonds or the trust indenture of any given bond issue, any moneys in all sinking funds, after all bonds and the interest thereon for which such sinking funds were pledged have been paid, may be paid into the authority fund provided for in Code Section 32-10-13.
