adjacent to a municipality or other urban place having a population
of five thousand or more, as determined by the latest available
Federal census, within boundaries to be fixed by the State Roads

municipality or urban area as the case may be, and with the consent
of the Governor and under the provisions of Section 8 of Article 15A
may, in any fiscal year, transfer from the Construction Fund pre-
scribed in this Section to a "Municipality-Urban Area Highway Con-
struction Fund", which is hereby established, a sum equal to such
amount of Federal-aid Urban Highway Funds that may become avail-
able from the Bureau of Public Roads and that may be allocated by
the State Roads Commission to the several municipalities and urban
areas and that may subsequently be released by such municipalities
and urban areas to the State Roads Commission for use on the State
Highway System. Such Municipality-Urban Area Highway Construc-
tion Fund shall be subject to apportionment by the State Roads
Commission and matching construction funds shall be required of
each such municipality and urban area participating in such program.
Such Municipality-Urban Area Construction Fund and such match-
ing funds shall be expended only for highway construction and recon-
struction projects under such rules and regulations as the Commis-
sion shall determine.

Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That this Act shall take effect
