"(1) For the purpose of acquiring, rebuilding, reconstructing, or 
repairing existing bridges and, when hereafter authorized by Act 
or joint resolution of the Congress of the United States, constructing 
new bridges across the Niagara River, at or north of the city of 
Niagara Falls, and for the purpose of refunding bonds of the Com-

of such bonds that, subject to the rights of the holders of any bonds 
of the Commission then outstanding, it will fix rates or tolls for the use

taining, repairing, and operating its bridges and the approaches thereto 
under economical management, and to provide a sinking fund suffi-
cient to pay the principal and interest of such bonds as the same shall 
fall due and the redemption or purchase price of all or any thereof

izing the issuance of such bonds.

authority of this section, title to all bridges, the revenues of which 
shall be pledged for the payment of the principal and interest of such 
bonds, shall remain in the Commission, notwithstanding any other 
provision of this joint resolution, until payment of such bonds and 
the interest thereon or until a sinking fund sufficient for such payment 
shall have been provided and shall be held for that purpose, whereupon
