Upon the approval hereof, all the assets and liabilities of the shops above named shall be transferred to this fund. All income to be derived from the operation of the shops shall accrue to this fund, which shall be disbursed by the Director of Public Works, in accordance with an annual budget to be approved by the Cabinet: Provided, however, That in case the cash funds, are, at any time, insufficient to defray the operating expenses of the Government Marine Railway and Repair Shops, the Insular Treasurer, upon the request of the Director of Public Works and with the approval of the Cabinet, shall advance the necessary sums for such expenses from any unappropriated funds in the Insular Treasury in an amount not exceeding fifty per cent of the shop's accounts receivable, and such advanced funds shall be refunded to the Insular Treasury as soon as the accounts receivable are collected: Provided, further, That all positions of personnel that are employed throughout the year shall be shown in detail in the annual appropriation acts. Any surplus funds which in the opinion of the Cabinet are not necessary for the operation of the said shops shall revert to the general fund in the Insular Treasury.
