set out herein shall be paid from the fines and other receipts of the
Department of Motor Vehicles provided in Section 341 of Article
66½ of the Annotated Code of Maryland (1957 Edition), and the cost
of debt service for bonds issued for these purposes shall not be in-
cluded by the Board of Public Works in determining the tax rate un-
der the provisions of this Section unless the revenues from the fines
and other receipts of said Department of Motor Vehicles be insuffi-
cient to provide necessary funds to pay the principal and interest on
such bonds.

All matters committed by this Act to the discretion of the Board
of Public Works shall be determined by a majority of said Board.

Sec. 11. And be it further enacted, That, exempting funds herein
appropriated for razing of the old Center Building, moneys derived
from the sale of Certificates of Indebtedness authorized by this
Act shall be used only for capital improvements and for no other
purpose. In determining whether an expenditure represents a Capital
improvement, the Board of Public Works shall be guided by the
principle that a capital improvement is an improvement, the useful
life of which shall be at least equal to the life of the bonds or
Certificates of Indebtedness by which it is financed.
