Sec. 5. Refunding bonds may be issued in a principal amount in excess of the principal amount of the bonds to be refunded. The principal amount of the refunding bonds may be less than or the same as the principal amount of the bonds being refunded so long as provision is duly and sufficiently made for the retirement or redemption of such bonds to be refunded. Any reserves held to secure the bonds to be refunded may be applied at the time the bonds to be refunded are paid to the redemption or retirement of such bonds, or if other available funds are sufficient and are used to retire and redeem such bonds, such reserves may be pledged as security for the refunding bonds.
