operated by a school board of three members, the county school
board shall require the county treasurer to pay over to the town
treasurer, if and when properly bonded, the following funds to be
used for school purposes within such special town school district:

appropriations for school purposes, a sum equal to the pro rata
amount from such levy or appropriations derived from such town.

(2) The amount due from State school funds received by the
county for general school purposes, to be determined as between the
county and the town on the same basis of distribution used by the
State in making the distribution of such school funds to the counties
and cities.

(3) The amounts due from the county to such special town
school district from special State school funds to be determined
in accordance with the purposes for which the allocations are made.

Where a special town school district is located partly in each
of two adjoining counties and operated by a town school board
created or constituted by the charter of such town, it shall be the
duty of the county treasurer of each of said counties to set up and
keep separate books and accounts showing the amount. of county
school taxes levied upon property located in such parts of their
respective counties as lie within the corporate limits of said town,
and showing also their collections on such levies, and the said
county treasurers shall periodically pay the amounts of said levies
so collected by them, respectively, into the treasury of said town,
if and when the town treasurer shall be properly bonded; and the
said county treasurers shall also promptly pay to the town treas-
urer, if and when properly bonded, the following State school funds
received by them, for the respective counties:

(1) The amount due from State school funds received by each
county for general school purposes, to be determined as between
each county and the town on the same basis of distribution used
by the State in making the distribution of such school funds to
the counties and cities.

(2) The amounts due from each county to such special town
school districts from special State school funds to be determined
in accordance with the purposes for which the allocations are made.

None of the provisions of this section shall require the county
treasurer to pay over to the town treasurer of a special town school
district any funds received from the State from special sources,
including funds distributed to the localities from the profits realized
from the operation of the State Alcoholic Beverage Control system,
when said town has received direct appropriations or allocations
from the State from the same special sources.

None of the provisions of this section or either of the two pre-
ceding sections shall be construed to amend or repeal the provi-
sions of sections twenty-seven hundred and seventy-three-n fifteen
and twenty-seven hundred and seventy-three-n forty-one of the
Code of Virginia.
