An Act Providing that the Provinces of Palawan and Mindoro shall have 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, and Payable to the Road and Bridge Fund of Certain Provinces
Act No. 1863, enacted on June 16, 1908, grants the provinces of Palawan and Mindoro their proportional share of the special fund, which consists of ten percent of internal-revenue collections. This fund is designated for the road and bridge improvements in certain provinces. Prior to this Act, Palawan and Mindoro were excluded from this fund despite their residents being subjected to a public-improvement tax.

ACT NO. 1863
AN ACT PROVIDING THAT THE PROVINCES OF PALAWAN AND MINDORO SHALL HAVE 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, AND PAYABLE TO THE ROAD AND BRIDGE FUND OF CERTAIN PROVINCES
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

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.
