ON PETITION FOR REHEARING.
On May 28, 1965, the following opinion was filed:
Per Curiam.
We construe Minn. St. 488.13, subd. 6(b), and 161.47, subd. 5, to mean that upon receipt by the city of Bemidji of fines, penalties, and forfeitures the city shall divide such moneys in 3/8 and 5/8 shares. From the 3/8 shares the city will deduct costs as provided in § 488.13, subd. 6(b), and expenses as indicated in § 488.10, subd. 6(e). Within 15 days after the last' day of the month in which such moneys were collected the city of Bemidji will pay to the County of Beltrami the full 5/8 share and that which remains from the 3/8 share. The county will then remit the full 5/8 share' to the state *123treasurer as provided in § 161.47, subd. 5. If the city’s statutory expenses and costs exceed the 3/8 share, then such expense must be borne by the county. Under this construction the state receives 5/8 of the total moneys collected and the county must satisfy all expenses and costs; hopefully, such expenses and costs will not exceed 3/8 of the total moneys collected by the city, but if they do, it is the county’s responsibility:
