  • 1.  Revenues  resulting  from the
      imposition of taxes authorized by this article shall be  paid  into  the
      treasury  of  the  county  or  city,  as  the  case may be, and shall be
      credited to and deposited in the general fund of the county or city and,
      unless restricted by local law to a specified purpose or purposes, shall
      be available for any lawful county or city purpose.
        2. Where the race meeting grounds or  enclosure  is  situated  in  two
      counties, one of which is wholly within a city, then:
        a.  If  the  tax  is imposed by such city, the fiscal officers of such
      city shall deposit the revenues of such taxes  in  a  special  fund  and
      shall  pay  to  the  county, not located in such city, within sixty days
      after collection thereof, seventy-five per centum of the moneys in  such
      special  fund,  for  deposit  in  the  general  fund  of  such county as
      hereinbefore provided, less the expenses for the collection of such tax,
      and except that the sum of five thousand dollars shall  be  retained  at
      all  times in such special fund for the purpose of making refunds or any
      necessary adjustments. The fiscal officers of such city  shall  pay  the
      balance  then  remaining  in  such special fund into the general fund of
      such city as hereinbefore provided;
        b. If the tax is not imposed by such city,  but  is  imposed  by  such
      county, the fiscal officers of such county shall deposit the revenues of
      such  taxes  in  a  special fund and shall pay to such city within sixty
      days after collection thereof, twenty-five per centum of the  moneys  in
      such  special  fund,  for  deposit  in  the general fund of such city as
      hereinbefore provided, less the expenses for the collection of such  tax
      and  except  that  the sum of five thousand dollars shall be retained at
      all times in such special fund for the purpose of making refunds or  any
      necessary  adjustments. The fiscal officers of such county shall pay the
      balance remaining in such special fund into the  general  fund  of  such
      county as hereinbefore provided.
