When the exhibition buildings and facilities are not in use for   state  fair  purposes,  the  commissioner of agriculture and markets may   manage and lease such exhibition buildings and facilities and may  lease   space  in  such buildings, and may execute contracts in relation to such   rentals and fix, impose and collect rentals and license  fees  therefor.   All  rental and license fees and such other income as may be provided by   the leasing of such buildings, space and facilities shall be  considered   moneys  payable  to the state on account of said fair in accordance with   the provisions of section thirty-one-c of this article. The commissioner   of  agriculture  and  markets  may  convey  to  the  industrial  exhibit   authority  certain real property in the town of Geddes, Onondaga county,   New York, as heretofore or hereafter acquired by  the  state  for  state   fair purposes. The commissioner is authorized to execute and file in the   Onondaga  county  clerk's  office  an  instrument  in  writing  defining   specifically the plot or plots of land  transferred  to  the  industrial   exhibit  authority pursuant to this section provided, however, that such   plot or plots of land shall be no more than is sufficient to  accomplish   the  purposes  described in the instrument. When such written instrument   is so filed it shall vest the authority  with  the  title  to  the  real   property  defined  therein  provided, however, that nothing herein shall   prevent the industrial exhibit authority from transferring back  to  the   state  and  vesting title in the state for state fair purposes under the   management and control of the department of agriculture and markets  any   land  which  the authority heretofore received as state fair land or any   state fair land which the authority may hereafter  receive  pursuant  to   this  section.

All conveyances  heretofore   made  between  the  commissioner  of  agriculture  and  markets  and the   industrial exhibit authority are  hereby  confirmed  and  recognized  as   valid and sufficient to convey good title.The  maintenance  and  repair  of  the improved roads on said property   shall however be  under  the  direct  supervision  and  control  of  the   superintendent  of public works who is hereby authorized and directed to   maintain and repair the same, and  the  cost  of  such  maintenance  and   repair  shall  be  paid  out of any funds available for the maintenance,   repair and reconstruction of improved state highways.
