Sec. 9.
(a) The municipality shall pay from its general fund or from a fund set aside for street lighting purposes:
(1) the entire annual cost of lighting at street intersections under section 8 of this chapter; and
(2) not less than thirty-five percent (35%) of the annual cost of lighting of the entire other part of the lighting system, with the exact percentage paid to be fixed by the municipal works board.
