The Commission's fifty percent share of the Motor Vehicle Revenue Fund (registration fees) is dedicated for maintenance of the State Highway System. It is necessary, however, to transfer funds from those funds available for construction to supplement the Maintenance Fund. The 1967 General Assembly has authorized transfer not in ex- cess of $12,000,000. _ The Commission is also empowered to assist the several counties of the State in financing the construction, reconstruction and certain major repairs of county roads through the issuance by the Commis- sion of County Highway Construction Bonds (Code 1957, 1964 Repl. Vol., Art. 89B, sec. 211), secured by the pledge of certain of the State revenues allocated to the participating counties. Pursuant to the Act, the Commission is empowered to issue one series of its bonds in each year for a period of fourteen years, beginning July 1, 1954, on behalf of any of the several counties of the State, which indicate a desire to participate. The authority is granted subject to the limitation that at no time shall there be outstanding, under such authority, in excess of $50,000,000 face amount of bonds.
