464 LAWS OF MARYLAND. [CH. 200

Treasurer of said county is hereby directed to report on the
first of each month, beginning June 1st, of each year, to the
said County Com missioners, the amount of county taxes col-
lected by him for the preceding month, and on the Tuesday
next succeeding the day of such report, the said County Com-
missioners are hereby directed to draw their warrant on the
County Treasurer for the use of the road fund, for at least
one-half of the amount so reported as collected by the Treas-
urer each month until the whole amount of money levied for
road and bridge uses in each year shall have been paid into
the road fund.

Should the levy of 1922 be made before the passage of this
Act, then the said County Commissioners, by their warrant on
the County Treasurer shall draw all sums levied for the use of
the roads and bridges for said county by such levy no matter in
whose name the said levy for such purposes may have been
made.

The Board of County Commissioners is hereby directed to
pay annually to the proper authorities of incorporated towns,
three-fourths of such part of such road and bridge taxes, as
may be realized each year from the property within the limits

of the respective towns. Nothing herein contained shall be

construed to prevent the County Commissioners from levying,
in addition to the road and bridge fund herein provided for,
or from appropriating any sum or sums of money necessary
for the building of roads under any State-aid Road Law, or
lateral road scheme now or hereafter in force in this State, but
on the contrary, the said County Commissioners shall each

year ascertain from the State Roads Commission the yearly
amount assigned out of the road funds for that year to Prince
George's County from the State, under any law providing
money for the building of lateral roads, and they shall each
year levy such amount as is necessary to make up Prince
George's County's share of said allotment of said State fund.
And in addition thereto, the County Commissioners may levy
an amount sufficient to take up any balance in or additions to
said fund which may be available to Prince George's County,
and it shall be the duty of the County Commissioners to use the
amount of said levy to carry on as far as possible the scheme
of construction of State-aid or lateral roads in Prince George's
County, and all powers given the authorities of Prince George's
County by the General Laws of the State for the purpose of
building; such roads are hereby especially confirmed and vested
