            (1)      The amount that results from applying to one half of the available revenues the ratio that, as of December 1 of the preceding calendar year, the total mileage of county roads in the municipality bears to the total mileage of county roads in the county; and

            (2)      The amount that results from applying to one half of the available revenues the ratio that, as of December 1 of the preceding calendar year, the total number of motor vehicles registered to owners having addresses in the municipality bears to the total number of motor vehicles registered to owners having addresses in the county.

      (c)      For purposes of the mileage formula distributions under this section, each special improvement district in Prince George's County in existence in January, 1953, shall be treated as a municipality, but the amounts distributed shall be:
