The money so set aside shall be disbursed by the state treasurer only for the payment of the principal and interest of the series of the state highway debentures for which the money is set aside. The remainder of the money appropriated in Section 67-3-57 NMSA 1978 shall be disbursed upon the order of the state transportation commission or its duly authorized agent in the manner provided by law for disbursement of money in the state road fund.
