Chap. 113.—An ACT to amend and re-enact section 1 of chapter 124
of the Acts of 1876-7, and to provide for the working of the roads in
the counties of Lee and Russell.

Approved April 22, 1882.

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly, That in the
counties of Lee and Russell, after the first day of May, eigh-
teen hundred and eighty-two, the county court shall appoint
surveyors for each road precinct for the term of two years.
Each surveyor shall designate one or more of his hands,
whose duty it shall be to summon his list of hands to work
upon the roads, at such times and places as said overseer
may appoint; and every day that such hand or hands may
be employed in summoning hands, shall be deducted from
the number of days he is required to work upon the road.
No surveyor shall be entitled to compensation for his servi-
ces, but shall be exempt from serving upon petit juries.

2. All male persons shall be compelled to work three days
in each year on some public road in the district in which he
may reside, or pay to the overseer seventy-five cents for each
day’s failure to work, and on failure to pay, the same shall
be collected and paid as provided in the general road law,
with the following exceptions, to-wit: ministers of the gos-
pel, persons under sixteen and over sixty, persons who reside
in a town that provides for its poor and keeps its streets in
order, any person who has lost a leg or an arm, and any
other person who is otherwise disabled, may be exempted on
certificate of the county court of such disability.

3. It shall be the duty of the said overseer to put on and
keep a list of all the members of his road precinct, who are sub-
ject to work on the public roads by law, and to keep a record
of each day’s work done by every party on the road, together
with the failure to work, as prescribed in section two of this
act, and the amounts collected for such failure, as set forth
in section two; which amounts are to be applied by the
overseer in the hiring of hands in the place of those failing;
and if it shall appear, after each person has worked and paid,
as prescribed in section two of this act, that it is not sufficient
to keep the roads, bridges, gates, and so forth, in good order,
then the overseer may apply to the county court, as now

rovided by law, for further assistance: provided further,
that no hand or hands shall be required to work more than
ten days in any one year on opening any new road, in addi-
tion to three days set forth in the second section of this act.
4, All the provisions of the general road law inconsistent
with this act, are hereby ropealed as to the counties of Lee
and Russell.
5. This act shall be in force from its approval and accept-
ance by a majority of the supervisors of each county.
