WM. PRESTON LANE, JR., GOVERNOR. 1031
(4) All revenues not hereinabove specifically allocated
shall be credited to the general funds of the State.
From the funds allocated to each County under the pro-
visions of this Section, the County Commissioners of the
County shall allocate and pay to each incorporated town
in the County a share of such funds in the ratio which the
population of each such town (figured on the best and most
reliable figures available in the opinion of the County
Commissioners) bears to the total population of the County,
provided, however, that such distribution shall be made if
and only if the two following conditions are met: (a) only
if such funds are used for the construction or maintenance
of streets, or sewerage facilities or water systems, or gar-
bage collections and disposal within the town; and (b) only
if such town shall raise by taxation and apply for the same
purpose as is the distributed funds an amount equal to
any funds so distributed. The share which any incorpo-
rated town failing to comply with the provisions of this
Section would have received upon such compliance shall
be retained by the County.
Any funds allocated and paid to any County of the State
under the provisions of this Section, which shall not be
distributed to incorporated towns in the County as here-
inabove provided, shall be used by the County only for the
construction and maintenance of capital assets, including
roads, schools, water systems, electric light and power sys-
tems, gas systems, bridges and grade-crossing eliminations.
SEC. 6. And be it further enacted, That this Act shall
take effect June 1, 1947.
Approved April 16, 1947.
