§ 8. The county court shall appoint two road commissioners, one
for each revenue district, whose term of office shall be four years

shall be appointed at the May term of the county court next prece-
ding their term of office, and shall qualify as other district officers

acknowledge a bond before the court or judge before whom he quali-
fies, with surety to be approved by the court or judge in the penalty

of his duties as such commissioner; provided, however, that said
court may at any time, upon the petition of fifty resident freeholders
of Tanner’s creek magisterial district, appoint an additional] road
commissioner for revenue district number one, with special jurisdic-
tion over the roads of Tanner’s creek magisterial district, whose term
of office shall run with the two commissioners hereinbefore men-
tioned, who shall qualify in like manner, and who shall receive for
his services such proportion of the salary of eight hundred dollars
per annum, provided for in section nine of this act, for the road com-
missioner of revenue district number one, as the taxable values of
said Tanner’s creek magisterial district bear to the whole taxable
values of said revenue district number one; provided that the salary
of the commissioner appointed under this act shall not exceed that
of the commissioner already appointed for revenue district number
one.
