THEODORE R. MCKELDIN, GOVERNOR 897
(2) There shall be divided among and allocated and paid
to the several counties of the State and to Baltimore City
on the basis of population, according to the latest available
Federal census: (a) one-half of all revenues collected from
licensees licensed under Section 7 of this Article; (b) one-
quarter of all revenues collected from licensees licensed
under Section 15 of this Article; (c) one-half of all reve-
nues collected from licensees licensed under Section 17 of
this Article not required to be paid to the Maryland State
Fair Board as provided in paragraph 3 of this sub-section;
provided, however, that before payment of such revenues
to the several Counties of the State and Baltimore City,
the Comptroller shall first pay out of such revenues the
sums required to be paid by Section 2 of Article 22 and
thereafter the balance of such revenue shall be divided, al-
located and paid to the several Counties and Baltimore
City as hereinbefore provided; except that no funds shall
be divided among, allocated or paid to any of the several
counties of the State or to the City of Baltimore as afore-
said unless it shall have levied, in its current fiscal year,
taxes sufficient to collect a minimum of one dollar per
capita in revenue and unless it shall have certified a copy
of said levy to the State Comptroller; and provided fur-
ther, that any moneys otherwise distributable as herein-
before provided, which shall not be distributed at the close
of the fiscal year of any such county or the City of Balti-
more because of failure of any county or the City of Balti-
more to make such levy and certification, shall revert to
the General Fund of the State Treasury. Per capita reve-
nue shall be computed for purposes of this sub-section by
using the population figures furnished by the latest Federal
Census or by an official local census, whichever is latest.
(3) One-quarter of all revenues collected from licensees
licensed under Section 15 of this Article and such portion
of the revenues collected from licensees licensed under Sec-
tion 17 of this Article as, together with one-quarter of all
revenues collected from licensees licensed under Section 15
of this Article, including breakage paid to the Comptroller
for the use of the Maryland State Fair Board under Sec-
tion 16 of this Article, shall be equal to the sum of $250, 000
shall be allocated and paid to the Maryland State Fair
Board and used for the promotion of State and County
Agricultural Fairs and Exhibits.
(4) All revenues not hereinabove specifically allocated
shall be credited to the general funds of the State.
