motor vehicle registrations having owners addresses within such
county bears to the total motor vehicle registrations within all
counties.

(3) The ratio of motor vehicle registration licenses for each munic-
ipality or special taxing area shall be determined for such munici-
pality or special taxing area and shall be the ratio that the total num-
ber of motor vehicle registrations within such municipality or special
taxing area bears to the total motor vehicle registrations within such
county.

To enable the Commission to make such computations, the Depart-
ment of Motor Vehicles and the local governing bodies of each county
shall furnish the Commission such data as it may require.

(d)  Payment and use.—The State Treasurer, upon warrants of
the Comptroller, shall pay over each county's share to or on the order
of the proper officials thereof as designated by local law, or, in the
absence of such designation, to the county commissioners, at monthly
intervals or at such other appropriate times as may be reasonably
requested, or, in the case of a county whose road construction, re-
construction or maintenance is performed by the State Roads Com-
mission, the State Treasurer shall credit the county's share to the
account of the State Roads Commission to be expended upon war-
rants of the Comptroller. Monies so paid or credited shall be used
and expended by such county officials or by the State Roads Com-
mission, as the case may be, as follows:

(1)  So much thereof as may be necessary shall be applied to debt
service with respect to outstanding bonds or other evidences of debt
heretofore issued by such county or any municipality within that
county for construction, reconstruction or maintenance of roads or
streets to the extent that gasoline tax revenues have heretofore been
lawfully dedicated, pledged or otherwise committed to such debt
service; it being the intent hereof that any such dedication, pledge
or commitment remain unimpaired and continue as a charge against
the county's share of the five cent gasoline tax to the same extent
as it constituted a charge against any gasoline tax revenues under
prior laws. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing,
the amounts heretofore required to be paid each year under Chapter
317 of the Acts of 1935 shall be deemed to be commitments hereunder
so long as any of the bonds therein referred to are outstanding.

(2)  The remainder of the county's share shall be used solely for
the construction, or maintenance of county roads, or for debt service
with respect to bonds or other evidences of debt hereafter lawfully
issued for such construction, reconstruction, or maintenance by the
county or by a municipality within the county which is not receiving
its own share under subsection (e) of this section.

(e)  Payment of municipalities' shares.—The State Treasurer,
upon warrants of the Comptroller, shall pay over the share of each
municipality which has made a request therefor under subsection
(b) hereof, at monthly intervals or at such other appropriate times
as may be reasonably requested, as follows:

(1) First, to the county commissioners of the county within which
the municipality lies, sufficient amounts to reimburse the county's
share for any funds paid therefrom under subsection (d) (1) for
debt service on bonds or other evidences of debt heretofore issued
by the municipality.
