In order further to secure the payment of the principal of bonds which such municipality may issue for the financing of the acquisition of, or of improvements to, the property, or any portion thereof, such governing body of the municipality, by ordinance adopted prior to the issuance of any such bonds, may pledge the proceeds of sales of portions of the property to the payment of such bonds, or a determined amount of bonds, for such purpose or purposes, as the ordinance may provide. In the event of the adoption of such a pledge by such governing body, moneys thereafter derived from the sales of portions of the property shall be paid to the municipality, shall be deposited in such bank or banks as such governing body shall determine, shall be set aside in a special fund and shall be withdrawn from that fund only for the payment of the principal of bonds, as such ordinance may provide. Unless or until such ordinance shall be adopted, all moneys derived from the sales of portions of the property shall be paid to the municipality, shall be deposited in such bank or banks as such governing body shall determine, shall be set aside in a special fund and shall be applied only to the payment of bonds or of notes in anticipation of bonds, thereafter issued by the municipality for the financing of the acquisition of, and of improvements to, the property.
