(1) The Corporation may, with the sanction of the State Government, establish a toll-bar, and levy tolls, on any bridge at which tolls may be levied on vehicles, carriages and carts passing over such bridge: Provided that no such toll-bar shall be established, or tolls levied, otherwise than for the purpose of recovering the expenses incurred in construction of such bridge together with interest on such expenses and in maintaining such bridge in good repair. (2) The State Government may, with the consent of a Corporation, make over to that Corporation any existing toll-bar on a bridge within the Municipal Corporation area to be administered by the Corporation and, thereupon, the Corporation shall administer such toll-bar until the State Government directs otherwise. Every such toll-bar, while so administered, shall be deemed to be a municipal toll-bar, and the profits derivable therefrom or such parts thereof as shall be agreed upon between the State Government and the Corporation, shall be credited to the Municipal Fund.
