Less, however, the share of such state in the net revenues of the said tunnel to the date of the said payment, and less interest on such net revenues at the rate of four and one-quarter per cent (4 1/4 %) per annum from the dates on which the said net revenues were received by such state to the date of the said payment;

c. And in the case of the payment to the state of New York, less an amount equal to the moneys which the said state has agreed to advance to the port authority (but which have not as yet been advanced to the port authority) in aid of bridge construction, during the fiscal years commencing in one thousand nine hundred and thirty-one and one thousand nine hundred and thirty-two, pursuant to chapter seven hundred and sixty-one of the Laws of New York of one thousand nine hundred and twenty-six and chapter three hundred of the Laws of New York of one thousand nine hundred and twenty-seven and acts amendatory thereof and supplemental thereto, discounted, however, in the case of each advance at the rate of four and one-quarter per cent (4 1/4 %) per annum, from the date of the said payment to the state of New York to the date upon which such advance is to be available pursuant to the aforesaid statutes.

In computing interest as aforesaid upon the moneys contributed by each of the said two states toward the cost of construction of the said Holland tunnel, such moneys shall be deemed to have been contributed by such state upon the first day of the month following the month during which there were presented to the comptroller of such state for audit and payment, the schedules and vouchers pursuant to which such moneys were paid. In computing interest as aforesaid upon the net revenues received by each of the said two states, such net revenues shall be deemed to have been received by such state upon the date when such revenues were credited to such state or to the commission of such state pursuant to paragraph eleven of Article XIV of the compact of December thirtieth, one thousand nine hundred and nineteen, between the two said states.
