ALBERT C. RITCHIE, GOVERNOR. 465

in the Board of County Commissioners of Prince George's
County.

All monies for the use of the roads and bridges in Prince
George's County from whatsoever source the same may be de-
rived, shall be deposited by the Board of County Commissioners
in one or more banks of said county to the credit of said Board,
specially designated as the ''County Road Fund. " The total
sum so received shall be used as follows:

The Board of County Commissioners shall first deposit to
the credit of a separate account to be known as "Redemption
and Interest Account" in some banks located in Prince George's
County, a sum sufficient to meet the payment of principal and
interest on bonds authorized under Sections 287 and 288 of
this Article, in order that the said bonds may be redeemed and
cancelled and the interest thereon paid as prescribed therein.
There shall then be put aside in a general fund sufficient
money to pay the fixed charges provided under this Act, which
shall include the sum of $300. 00 per year each to the County
Commissioners as compensation for their duties hereunder. A
sum not to exceed $600. 00 per year as a salary of the road
clerk, such portion of the compensation of the attorney of the
County Commissioners as may be properly apportioned to his
legal advice in connection herewith, and such other sums as
may be properly payable out of such general fund under the
provisions of this Act. They shall then divide the remainder
of the said money among the road districts of said county
according to road mileage in each of said road districts, not
including incorporated towns and State roads; and the said
Board of County Commissioners shall annually inquire into,
examine and determine the amount of said road mileage in
each of said road districts; and after such apportionment of
road funds is made, no portion of said money shall be diverted
from the road district to which it has been apportioned, and at
the time of said apportionment the said county road clerk shall
notify each of said road district committee chairmen of the
amount of mileage so apportioned his road district.

In case there shall not be sufficient money available in any
year to start the working of roads before the amount of the
levy for such year is available, the Board of County Com-
missioners is hereby authorized to use any surplus funds which
they may have in hand during the months of March and April
up to the sum of $15, 000. 00. In the event that such fund
is used the Board of County Commissioners shall re-pay the
