which such monies were collected, the name and residence
of the defendant, the nature of the offense, and the fine,
penalty, forfeiture or sentence, if any, imposed. And this
section shall not be considered as repealed by the passage
hereafter of any law providing for a different disposition
of fines and penalties in any county or other municipal
division of this State unless the same contains a repeal of
this section by express references thereto. Said Commis-
sioner of Motor Vehicles is hereby empowered in the name
of the State of Maryland to take all steps necessary to en-
force the collection and prompt return of all such fines,
penalties and forfeitures of bonds, and when any motor
vehicle shall have been deposited as security under the pro-
visions of this sub-title, and said security is forfeited, the
same may be disposed of by the Commissioner of Motor
vehicles, or under his discretion by the officer having the
said motor vehicles in charge, at public auction, and the
proceeds thereof dealt with pursuant to the provisions of
this sub-title, unless within ten days after notice by mail
to the owner of such motor vehicle, or the person leaving
the same as security, the same shall be redeemed. Any
Justice of the Peace, Committing Magistrate or Police
Justice accepting checks, drafts or any other unsecured
evidences of debt in payment of fines, or in lieu of bail,
shall do so at his own risk, provided that nothing herein
shall be taken to prohibit the release of offenders on their
own recognizance in proper cases. All monies received by
the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles pursuant to the pro-
visions of this sub-title except such as shall be necessary
for the purpose of making refunds, as in this sub-title pro-
vided, and except in each of the fiscal years 1934 and 1935,
all moneys received as fines, penalties and forfeitures of
bonds, or any other kind of authorized security imposed or
collected under any of the provisions of this sub-title shall
be accounted for and remitted by said Commissioner to the
State Treasurer, who shall create a special fund thereof.
Out of the special fund so created, the State Treasurer
shall first pay, within the limits of the appropriations made
by the General Assembly, all the salaries and expenses of
the office of the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles. The
balance of said fund shall be disbursed, upon warrant to
the Comptroller, as follows: one-fifth thereof shall be paid
to the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore, for use on
its roads, and the remaining four-fifths shall be credited
to the account of the State Roads Commission of Mary-
land, to be used for the oiling, maintenance, reconstruction
and repair of State roads and State-aided roads, and for
