performed by the State Roads Commission, the State Treas-
urer shall credit the county's share to the account of the

pledged or otherwise committed to such debt service; it being
the intent hereof that any such dedication, pledge or commit-
ment remain unimpaired and continue as a charge against

extent as it constituted a charge against any gasoline tax
revenues under prior laws. Without limitation of the gen-
erality of the foregoing, the amounts heretofore required to
be paid each year under Chapter 317 of the Acts of 1935 shall
be deemed to be commitments hereunder so long as any of
the bonds therein referred to are outstanding.

for the construction, reconstruction, or maintenance of county
roads, or for debt service with respect to bonds or other evi-
dences of debt hereafter lawfully issued for such construction,

pality within the county which is not receiving its own share
