of eighteen hundred and seventy-four—five, be amended and

§22. Every person required to work on the public roads
shall, either in person, or by a sufficient substitute, when
notitied by the proper surveyor, attend with proper tools, and
work the roads on such days as the surveyor may direct.
For every day on which there may be a failure, seventy-five
cents shall be paid to the surveyor, within thirty days there-
after, by the person in default, if a person of full aye, or if
he be an infant, by the parent or guardian., If the money
be not paid to the surveyor within the time above specified,
he shall make out a ticket against such delinquent party for
the amount of said fine, with an addition of ten per centum
for costs, which ticket shall be put by him into the hands of
the constable of his district, or the sheriff of the county, for
collection: provided however, that such delinquent may, after
notice to such surveyor, apply to the county court or judge
thereof, in vacation, or to the supervisor of his district, and
for good cause shown, have said fine released or remitted ;
and provided further, that such delinquent may, before suid
ticket goes into the hands of the constable or sheriff, dis-
charge said fine by labor upon his road precinct. The officer
having charge of the collection of such fines, may distrain
therefor, or otherwise collect the same in the mode prescribed
for the collection of taxes and county levies. He shall ac-
count to the surveyor for all fines collected by him, dividing
the costs collected equally with the surveyor, and shall re-
tufn to the clerk of the county court, annually, at the March
term, a list of all fines so collected, with the names of the
surveyors to whom the same have been paid. Said clerk
shall label and file the same in his office. :
