1. To fix and maintain fees, rentals and other charges of stalls, pens,  and stables and rental of other buildings as may be on the fair grounds; provided, however, that no fee shall except that a fee may not be charged for exhibits during the state fair of agricultural, dairy, horticultural, culinary, apiary and handwork products of exhibitors at the state fair, unless the same be for sale.

3. To covenant with or for the benefit of the holder or holders of bonds issued hereunder, that so as long as any of the bonds remain outstanding and unpaid, the Arizona exposition and state fair board will prescribe service charges, fees and rentals, and will revise the same when necessary so that the project for which the bonds are issued shall always remain self-supporting, with revenues sufficient:

(b) To provide for all expenses of operation, maintenance, expansion and replacement of facilities.

(c) To provide reasonable reserves for such purposes. END_STATUTE
