(a) The Comptroller shall pay into a special fund in
the treasury all taxes, penalties and interest collected and
received by him pursuant to this subtitle. Such proceeds
shall be disbursed upon the warrant of the Comptroller for
the following purposes:

(5) After the deductions provided for in paragraphs
(1) and (3) of this subsection and the distribution to the
State, as provided in paragraphs (2) and (4) of this
subsection, the remainder shall be paid and distributed
quarterly to each county and the City of Baltimore, to be
credited into the general funds of each such political
subdivision. The amount to be paid to each political
subdivision shall be a pro rata share of the remainder, in
the same ratio from time to time as the population of the
political subdivision is to the population of the State. In
no event, however, shall a political subdivision be paid
under this distribution for any State fiscal year a sum of
money less than that political subdivision received during
the calendar year of 1960 as the net collection, after the
deduction of administrative and collection expenses, from a
cigarette tax then imposed and collected by that political
subdivision. If an extra payment is made to any political
subdivision under the workings of this paragraph, in the
amount necessary to assure that its payments equal its net
collections in 1960, as specified, the amount of the payment
first computed for that political subdivision plus the extra
payment to it then shall be deducted from the total amount
distributable to the several other political subdivisions;
and the amount then distributable to each of the other
political subdivisions shall be recalculated, as a pro rata
share of the remainder, in the same ratio from time to time
as the population of the respective political subdivision is
to the total population of these several other political
subdivisions. Population figures for the purpose of these
computations from time to time shall be the population
records of the State Department of Health AND MENTAL HYGIENE
as of January 1 and July 1 of each and every year.
