Until the central New Hampshire turnpike becomes part of the New Hampshire turnpike system, tolls shall be established and revised from time to time under RSA 237:40 which are at least sufficient to meet the operating expenses and maintenance costs of the central New Hampshire turnpike and to pay the principal and interest on bonds issued to finance the central New Hampshire turnpike.
III. The tolls established or revised from time to time under RSA 237:24 and 237:40 and under 237:9 shall be at least sufficient in the aggregate to meet the aggregate operating expenses and maintenance costs of the central New Hampshire turnpike, the eastern New Hampshire turnpike and the New Hampshire turnpike system and to pay the aggregate principal and interest on bonds issued to finance the central New Hampshire turnpike, the eastern New Hampshire turnpike and the New Hampshire turnpike system.
