balance of proceeds of said bond issue, to be used in the manner
and for the purposes herein set forth; that the commission
shall appropriate and use in the several counties of the State
of Maryland so much of the funds arising from the bond issue
herein provided for as is available for actual construction
work in proportion to the now existing road mileage of said
counties, respectively, the term "road mileage" herein used, only
to include the public or county roads, or turnpikes now in
actual use and abandoned turnpikes now used by the public.
This provision is not to be construed as requiring the commis-

of the State each and every year, but is intended to eventually
provide a fair distribution of the funds according to road mile-
age, as herein set forth. In order that the security for the
bonds to be sold under this Act shall not in any way be
impaired, the provisions of this section as to the distribution
and the use of the money in the several counties of the State
shall not be repealed by any future Act.
32M. Inasmuch as the purposes contemplated by this Act
do not demand immediate sale of all the certificates provided
for by this Act, the Governor, Comptroller of the Treasury and
Treasurer, or a majority of them, may issue advertisements
from time to time, in accordance with the provisions of this
Act, for such part or parts of said loan as may from time to
time be required.
32N. The sum of five thousand dollars, or so much thereof as
may be necessary is hereby appropriated for the payment of
the expenses of engraving, printing and other outlays connected
with the issue of the loan hereby authorized, and for the pay-

incidental expenses connected with the execution of its pro-
visions in connection with said loan.
