Sec. 17. The moneys derived from tolls taken for the use of such bridge shall be applied first to the payment of the expense of collecting such tolls. The net amount of such toll fund remaining after the payment of the expense of collecting such tolls shall be divided equally between the state of Indiana and the county in said state which has issued bonds in aid of the bridge from which the tolls were derived until each of said state and said county has received back an amount equal to the amount contributed by the county to the said bridge, together with interest thereon up to the time of repayment; and such net toll shall be used for no other purpose. Payment of such net toll shall be made semiannually, and it is hereby made the duty of the officer having custody of such net tolls to pay to such county its share thereof, ascertained as aforesaid, and to the state of Indiana its share thereof, ascertained as aforesaid, and all amounts so paid to such county shall be used by such county, when so received, in payment of its said bonds and interest so long as any of said bonds and interest remain outstanding and unpaid. All depository interest accruing on such fund, shall be added to and shall constitute a part of such fund.
