 general fund over and above the norm  for  such  fiscal  year  shall  be
 transferred  from or retained in such fund as hereinafter in this subdi-

 during such fiscal year into the general fund of the  state  shall  fall
 below the norm for such fiscal year, there shall be transferred from the

 receipts. If such transfer reduces the tax stabilization reserve fund to
