   23  rate of sales and compensating use taxes authorized  by  section  twelve
   24  hundred  ten-E  of  this  article  for  all or any portion of the period
   25  beginning December first, two thousand seven and ending November thirti-
   26  eth, two thousand [thirteen] FIFTEEN,  the  county  shall  use  all  net
   27  collections  from such additional one-quarter of one percent rate to pay
   28  the county's expenses for the construction  of  additional  correctional
