traffic activities and of the cost of other highway
related activities enumerated herein.

Provided, however, that no such distribution shall
be made to said mayor and city council of Baltimore
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
further, that any moneys, otherwise distributable under
this section, which shall not be distributed at the close
of the fiscal year of the mayor and city council of
Baltimore because of failure of the mayor and city
council to make such levy or certification, shall revert
to the Transportation Trust Fund.

Per capita revenue shall be computed for purposes of
this section by using the population figures furnished by
the latest federal census or by an official local census,
whichever is latest.

Seventeen and one—half percent of the highway user
revenues as defined in § 38A of this article during any
fiscal year, shall be used for the benefit of the
counties and municipalities of the State (other than
Baltimore City) as follows:

(a) It is the legislative intent that the
distribution of highway user revenues shall hereafter be
distributed one half on the linear road mileage basis and
one half on the motor vehicle registration basis. In
order to accomplish this, the State [Roads Commission]
HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION shall allocate for the account of
each county a sum determined by (1) applying the ratio
which the total mileage of county roads in such roads in
such county bears to the total mileage of county roads in
all of the counties to one half of the highway user
revenues provided under this section, and (2) applying
the ratio which the total number of motor vehicle
registration licenses within such county bears to the
total number of motor vehicle registration licenses in
all the counties to one half of the highway user revenues
provided under this section, and (3) then adding the two
sums together.

From the shares so determined, the [State Roads
Commission] ADMINISTRATION shall deduct the amount, if
any, allocated to a municipality under the next
succeeding subsection (b) hereof. The resulting shares
shall constitute the county's share for the purposes of
this section.
