county agency may be expended for another use of the
same agency, but no county agency may expend, in the
aggregate, in any fiscal year, more than the total amount
appropriated to such agency under the budget, except as
hereinafter provided. Upon the application of any county
agency to the County Commissioners, said Commissioners
may increase the appropriation for such agency by trans-
ferring thereto a part or all of any other amounts appro-
priated to any other county agency, by appropriating
thereto a sum or sums from the Contingent Fund, or
revenues received in excess of estimates. The consideration
of any such application shall be had at a regular session
of the County Commissioners, and the action of the County
Commissioners shall be evidenced by a written order signed
by a majority of said Commissioners. Nothing herein con-
cerning the transfer of funds shall apply to the listed
activities in Section 466C of this Article.

take effect June 1, 1953.
