    §  3.  All  boats  navigating  the  canals  and the owners and masters
  thereof, shall be subject to such laws and regulations as have  been  or
  may  hereafter  be  enacted concerning the navigation of the canals. The
  legislature shall annually  make  provision  for  the  expenses  of  the
  superintendence  and  repairs  of  the  canals,  and may provide for the
  improvement of the canals in such manner as shall  be  provided  by  law
  notwithstanding  the  creation  of a special revenue fund as provided in
  this section. All contracts for work or materials on any canal shall  be
  made  with  the persons who shall offer to do or provide the same at the
  lowest responsible price, with adequate security for  their  performance
  as provided by law.
    All  funds  that  may be derived from any sale or other disposition of
  any barge canal lands, barge canal terminals, barge canal terminal lands
  or other canal lands and appertaining structures  and  any  other  funds
  collected  for the use of the canals or canal lands shall be paid into a
  special revenue fund of the treasury. Such funds shall only be  expended
  for   the  maintenance,  construction,  reconstruction,  development  or
  promotion of the canal, canal lands, or lands adjacent to the  canal  as
  provided by law.
