The county commission of all such counties shall have the power and authority to provide for the payment of the cost and expenses of such inventories and to prorate such cost and expenses between the county, the state, each municipality, the county board of education, and each city board of education in the county, such proration to be approximately in the proportion that the revenue received by the state, the county, such municipalities, and such boards of education, respectively, bears to the total amount of ad valorem taxes collected in the county.
