and agree with the holders of the bonds that the state will not limit or
alter the rights hereby vested in the authority to establish and collect
such rates, rentals and other charges as may be convenient or necessary
to produce sufficient revenue to meet the expense of maintenance and
operation and to fulfill the terms of any agreements made with the
holders of the bonds, or in any way impair the rights and remedies of
bondholders until the bonds, together with the interest thereon, with
interest on any unpaid installments of interest, and all costs and
expenses in connection with any action or proceedings by or on behalf of
the bondholders, are fully met and discharged. From and after the filing
with the common council of the city and with the secretary of state of

as the authority exists, the city shall not be authorized to construct,
operate or maintain any sewerage system within or without the
territorial limits of the city, and no other corporation or agency shall
be authorized to construct, operate or maintain any sewerage system
within the city, but all such power shall be vested in the authority.
