The regular and special reports of the survey, with illustrations and maps, shall be produced for public use and shall be distributed or sold by the commissioner as the interests of the state and of science may demand.

All moneys obtained from the sale of such publications, materials and products shall be paid to the State Treasurer and credited to said account and the commissioner may expend moneys of said account for the production and distribution of such publications and the purchase, for resale, of such materials and products.
