Whereas under the provisions of Act Numbered Sixteen hundred and ninety-five the Provinces of Palawan and Mindoro are debarred from participation in the special fund of ten per centum of internal-revenue collections created by said Act to be paid into the road and bridge fund of certain provinces: and

'Whereas said provinces are in equity entitled to participation in said fund for the reason that although their provincial boards are not allowed to impose a double cedulla tax, there is imposed upon the pimple of these provinces, by provisions of existing law, a public-improvement tax of two pesos per annum: Now, therefore,

By authority of the United States, be it enacted by the Philippine Legislature, that:

SECTION 1.  The Provinces of Palawan and Mindoro shall be entitled on the basis of their population to their pro rata share of the special fund of ten per centum of internal-revenue collections created by act Numbered Sixteen hundred and ninety-five for payment to the road and bridge fund of certain provinces.

SEC. 2.  this Act shall take effect on July first, nineteen hundred and eight.

Enacted, June 16, 1908.
