   2.  The amount of state aid to be allocated to counties, cities, towns

 each county including the municipalities  therein,  shall  bear  to  the
 total  authorized  expenditures  of  all  the counties, cities, towns or
 villages for enforcement of such provisions during the fiscal year. Such
 percentage proportion shall then be applied against an amount  equal  to
 twenty-five percent of the amount received by the state in fees received
 for  registration  of snowmobiles during such fiscal year, to the extent
 only and not exceeding the sum of [one]  TWO  hundred  [fifty]  thousand
 dollars.  The amount thus determined shall constitute the maximum amount
 of  state aid to which each county, city, town or village shall be enti-
 tled.  Provided, however, that no county, city, town  or  village  shall
 receive state aid in an amount in excess of [one-half] THREE QUARTERS of
 its  authorized  expenditures  as  approved by the commissioner for such
 fiscal year. The commissioner  shall  certify  to  the  comptroller  the
 amount  thus  determined  for  each county, city, town or village as the
 amount of state aid to be apportioned to  such  county,  city,  town  or
 village.
