and the said Mayor and City Council of Baltimore shall pay
from such receipts all refunds as hereinafter provided, the
salaries and expenses of the Board of License Commissioners
of Baltimore City, and its employees as approved by the State
Comptroller, and devote the balance to the general purposes
of the City.

In Baltimore County the Clerk of the Circuit Court for said
County shall retain such portion of each license fee collected

missioners of Baltimore County, who shall, out of such re-
mainder so received from said Clerk, pay all salaries and ex-
