the case may be, shall each have the right to apply any
such allotments, in whole or in part, to the relief of the un-
employed or unemployable, or both, or to the ordinary
purposes of government supported by local direct prop-
erty tax levies or to the repayment of any obligations pre-
viously incurred for any of said purposes, as they may
deem advisable. For the purpose of this sub-section, the
term "unemployable" shall include dependent children as
defined in Section 21 of Article 88A of the Annotated Code,
and shall also include the blind; provided, however, that no
expenditure of funds allocated under this sub-section shall
relieve the County Commissioners of the various counties
or the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore City from the
duty of making local appropriations or levies as required
by law for the aid to dependent children, aid to the blind
or any other purpose within the scope of the Federal Social
Security Act.

No allotment, allocation or disbursement from the State
Fund shall operate to restrict or limit in any manner the
power of the various counties or Baltimore City to finance
and provide additional relief out of local revenue, to the
extent authorized by law.

SEC. 8. And be it further enacted, That if any one or
more sections, clauses, sentences, or parts of this Act shall
for any reason be questioned in any court, and shall be ad-
judged unconstitutional or invalid, such judgment shall not
affect, impair or invalidate the remaining provisions there-
of but shall be confined in its operation to the specific pro-
visions so held unconstitutional or invalid, and the inapplic-
ability or invalidity of any section, clause or provision of
this Act in any one or more instances shall not be taken
to affect or prejudice in any way its applicability or valid-
ity in any other instance.

SEC. 9. And be it further enacted, That this Act is
hereby declared to be an emergency law and necessary for
the immediate preservation of the public health and safety,
and being passed upon a yea and nay vote supported by
three-fifths of all the members elected to each of the two
Houses of the General Assembly, the same shall take effect
from the date of its passage.
