He shall pay into such fund all redemption fees, all publication or other charges collected by him if such charges were paid by or were payable to him the unclaimed surplus proceeds received by him from the sale of delinquent and other lands pursuant to this article, and all payments made to him under the provisions of sections sixty-four and sixty-five of this article, except such part thereof as represents state taxes and interest. All payments so excepted shall be credited by the Auditor to the general school fund or other proper state fund.
(b) The operating fund shall be used by the Auditor in cases of deficits in land sales to pay any balances due to deputy commissioners for services rendered, and any unpaid costs including those for publication which have accrued or will accrue under the provisions of this article, to pay fees due surveyors under the provisions of section forty-three of this article, and to pay for the operation and maintenance of the land department in his office. The surplus over and above the amount of $100,000, remaining in the fund at the end of any fiscal year, shall be paid by the Auditor into the general school fund.
