  through its officers and employees, the members  may  do  the  following
  things,  among  others,  and  the  following list of powers shall not be
  deemed complete or exclusive, or to deny the existence of other  powers,
  whether  similar  or different, so long as they are reasonably necessary
  for accomplishing the purposes declared and indicated in this title:

  the  principal  of  and  interest on the bonds of the authority together
  with the maintenance of proper reserves therefor, in addition to  paying
