The words “and not properly expended” are inserted for clarity. The words “United States” are substituted for the word “Government”. The word “their” is substituted for the words “suitable * * * for use therewith”. The words “it is no longer needed” are substituted for the words “the necessity for their use has expired”.
In subsection (b), the words “hereafter”, “borrowed”, and “under the authority of this section” are omitted as surplusage.
