1102 LAWS OF MARYLAND. [CH. 538

Congress or regulations made thereunder may otherwise
provide, and, in the event that the funds so received from
the United States Government or any agency thereof are
unavailable or insufficient to pay the total cost of any such
project, the difference between the total cost and the
amount so received shall be borne in the manner now pro-
vided by law except as provided herein. In the event any
funds so received from the United States Government or
any agency thereof are used to eliminate highway hazards
or construct new, or reconstruct, alter or relocate existing
railroad or highway underpasses or overhead bridges, the
State Roads Commission is further authorized to separate
any grade crossing, or reconstruct, alter, repair or relocate
any underpass or overhead bridge, under or over any rail-
road, or otherwise eliminate such hazard, as agreed upon by
the Commission and the railroad or railway company. This
provision, however, shall in no way be construed as a limita-
tion on the power or authority of the Commission to re-
quire the railroad to contribute its present statutory appor-
tionment based on the difference between the total cost of
the project and the amount received from the United States
Government or any agency thereof.
