§ 31. Fair  grounds.  The  property described in the conveyance to the
  state by the New York state agricultural society of its property in  the
  town   of  Geddes,  Onondaga  County,  New  York,  by  deed  dated  July
  twenty-eight, eighteen hundred and  ninety-nine,  and  recorded  in  the
  office of the comptroller and any other property heretofore or hereafter
  acquired  by  the  state  for  state  fair  purposes  shall be under the
  management and control of the department, and it may, from time to time,
  make rules and  provide  for  the  care,  preservation  and  improvement
  thereof. 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.  In the event that the industrial exhibit authority shall
  be abolished or for any reason cease to exist the  title  to  all  lands
  held  by the authority which were formerly state fair lands shall revert
  to the state for state fair purposes under the management and control of
  the department of agriculture and markets.   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.
