      appropriation, such unexpended balance shall remain on  deposit  in  the
      fund or account and such appropriation shall not lapse.

      provisions  therein;  and  (d)  requiring  the  county   or   any   such
      municipality  to pay to the authority such amounts as shall be necessary
      to assure the continued operation of the authority.  All  such  payments

      provided in such contracts.
