of Montgomery County for a match to be held in that county or the
County Commissioners of Prince George's County for a match to be
held in that county.

All moneys arising from the dog licenses or taxes shall be kept in a
separate fund by the treasurer of the respective counties, or tax
collecting office thereof, and shall be used for the payment of damages
for the injury and killing of sheep, poultry or other livestock in
said respective counties, according to the procedures set out in
Section 198 of this article. In the event the same are not sufficient
for the payment of all such damages the said damages shall be paid
in the order the claims are presented, and any person or persons
whose claims are not paid in any one year by reason of the lack of
money to the credit of the said fund, which is to be [designed]
designated "the dog license fund," shall be paid out of the first
money coming into the fund after his claim is reached, and shall be
paid in the order in which said claims are proved and filed; and any
claims now filed and passed upon, but remaining unpaid, shall have
preference over any new claims in the order of payment. The
county commissioners of the several counties are hereby authorized
to expend any funds in excess of one thousand dollars ($1,000)
