CHAPTER 376.

AN ACT to provide for the distribution of the portion of
the State Gasoline Tax allotted to Prince George's
County.

SECTION 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of
Maryland, That such portion of the State Gasoline Tax as
may be allotted to Prince George's County in each year
shall be distributed as follows:

There shall be first paid therefrom by the State Roads
Commission the salary of the road clerk to the County Com-
missioners of Prince George's County the sum of five hun-
dred and seventy dollars ($570. 00) per annum and the sum
of two hundred and eighty-five dollars ($285. 00) per annum
to each of the said County Commissioners as compensation
for their services as provided by Article 17 of the Code of
Public Local Laws of Maryland (1930 Edition) title
"Prince George's County, " sub-title "Roads, " or any
amendments thereto.

There shall then be paid therefrom by the State Roads
Commission the interest, sinking funds or yearly redemp-
tion payments provided by law for said year on any bonds
heretofore issued by the County Commissioners of Prince
George's County for road purposes.

There shall then be allotted to each incorporated town a
sum which bears the same proportion to the total allotment
of Prince George's County as the amount of the county
road tax rebated to said town in the year 1932 bore to the
total road fund of said County for said year, which said
sum shall be paid by the State Roads Commission to each
town, to be expended by the towns in their discretion, for
the payment of interest, sinking funds or redemption pay-
ments on bonds issued by said towns for street or highway
purposes, or for the maintenance, construction or repair by
said towns of streets or highways within said town. If
any town so elects, its share may be expended for the main-
tenance, construction or repair of streets or highways with-
in said town by the State Roads Commission of Maryland
in accordance with the provisions of the Act of the General
Assembly of Maryland, passed at the Session of 1935, allot-
ting the proceeds of the one and one-half cent (l1/^) gaso-
line tax to the several Counties for road purposes.

The balance of said allotment to Prince George's County
shall be expended by the State Roads Commission of Mary-
land, in that portion of the County not included with the
