the roads of Charlotte county.

Approved May 23, 1887.

1. Beit enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That
section twenty-two of chapter three hundred and ninecty-six
of Acts of Assembly, eighteen hundred and eighty-five and
six, entitled an act to provide for building bridges, opening,
working, and keeping in order the roads of the county of
Charlotte, be amended and re-enacted so as to read as follows:

§22. Every person required to work on the public roads,
shall either in person or by sufficient substitute, when noti-
fied by the proper surveyor, attend with proper tools and
work the road on such days as the surveyor may direct. For
every day on which there may be a failure by such person to
work as hereby required, seventy-five cents shall be paid to
the surveyor within thirty days thereafter by the person in
default, if a person of full age, or if be be an infant, by -bis
parent or guardian. If the money be not paid to the sur-
veyor 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: pro-
vided however, that such delinquent may, after notice to such
surveyor, apply to the county court or the judge thereof in
vacation, and on good cause shown have such fine released or
remitted: and provided further, that such delinquent may,
before said ticket goes into the hands of the constable or
sheriff, discharge such fine by labor upon his road precinct.
The officer having charge of the collection of such fines may
destrain therefor in the same manner as for taxes and county
levies. He shall account to the surveyor for all fines collected
by him, paying to said surveyor the penalty of ten per
centum as compensation for his duties hereby required, and
he shall retain one-half of such fines as his compensation for
collecting the same. Such officer shall return to the county
court annually, at the March term, a list of all fines so col-
lected, with the names of the surveyors to whom the same
shall have been paid. The clerk of said court shall label and
file the said report in his office.

2. This act shall be in force trom its passage.
